Richebourg

Burgundy · France · Wine Auction Prices

Richebourg is among Burgundy's most powerful and opulent grands crus, producing Pinot Noir of unusual body and richness for the Côte de Nuits. The 8-hectare vineyard sits immediately north of Romanée-Conti and shares similar Premeaux limestone and clay-rich brown soils that produce deeply concentrated, complex wines. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti holds 3.5 hectares — the largest single parcel — and their Richebourg is typically the most powerful wine in the DRC lineup, often surpassing La Tâche in intensity. Domaine Leroy's holding (0.77 ha), farmed biodynamically with yields under 15 hl/ha, produces one of the most sought-after bottles in all Burgundy, trading above $3,000. Gros Frère et Sœur (almost 1.7 ha) and Méo-Camuzet complete the top tier. With 4,000 lots at auction, Richebourg is more available than many DRC monopoles but no less expensive from the top producers.
