Richebourg 2010 from Domaine du Clos Frantin is a Grand Cru red from Vosne-Romanée. The 2010 vintage is celebrated for its structural precision and high aromatic height, yielding wines with immense mineral focus and tension. This bottling offers a profound profile of black cherries, violets, iron and forest floor. The palate is dense and vertical with a firm tannic spine that suggests decades of potential. Its texture is silky yet muscular, leading into a long, savoury finish that reflects the limestone-heavy soils of this legendary site. This wine represents a technical peak for the estate in a classic, high-acid growing season.
