Situated in the village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – or simply DRC – is the world-famous wine producer that needs no introduction. Since 1942 the estate is co-owned by two families, the de Villaine and the Leroy, with Alexandre Bernier in place as cellar master following the retirement of Bernard Noblet in 2018. Only Grand Cru wines are produced here, including this Richebourg, made from a 3.51-hectare parcel. 1996 was an outstanding vintage for both white and red Burgundy which are drinking beautifully now.

The 1996 Richebourg DRC is a testament to the exceptional terroir of the Richebourg Grand Cru vineyard and the meticulous winemaking philosophy of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. This vintage is celebrated for its structure, depth, and the precise balance of fruit and earthy notes. Intense aromas of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, with earthy undertones and hints of truffle and leather. On the palate, it presents complex layers of flavor including fruit, spice, and mineral finesse, leading to a long, sophisticated finish. Not specific, but DRC wines are consistently highly rated and sought after by collectors and connoisseurs.

The Richebourg collection from Henri Jayer encompasses some of the most prestigious and exquisite Pinot Noir wines in the world, sourced from the esteemed Richebourg Grand Cru vineyard in the heart of Burgundy's Vosne-Romanée.
