Richebourg AF Gros 2009 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. This parcel within the prestigious Richebourg vineyard features deep clay-limestone soils that provide the wine with its characteristic power and opulence. The 2009 growing season was exceptionally warm, resulting in grapes with high phenolic maturity and a dense fruit profile. Fermentation occurred with a small proportion of whole bunches to add structural complexity and aromatic lift. The wine was aged in 100% new French oak for 16 months, providing notes of spice and toasted wood to complement the dark berry fruit.
