RICHEBOURG
Richebourg lies to the north of La Romanée and Romanée-Conti and upslope from Romanée-St-Vivant. The wines of Richebourg are powerful, opulent and have a muscular intensity that sets the vineyard apart from most of the other grand cru vineyards of the region. Méo-Camuzet possesses three quarters of an acre in the lieux dit 'Les Verroilles', plus a tenth of an acre in 'Les Richebourg', just below 'Cros Parantoux'. The vines are oriented principally towards the east, and are characterized by planting in rows running north-south – a protection during hot years. Generally speaking, the site is fairly cool. The wines are carefully crafted and take time to mature; a characteristic which can also be found in the cask, once the wine has been made. The grapes present a fine balance between sugar and acids, which is a central facet of this appellation's character. In any given vintage, Richebourg should be one of the last wines to be drunk. Not because the wine is overly aggressive when young; simply because it needs time to reveal its full complexity; Richebourg is a wine of poise and finesse.
