Overview
Richebourg occupies an east-facing mid- to upper-slope sector between Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru land. Variable soil depth over hard Jurassic limestone supports concentrated Pinot Noir with dark fruit, violet, spice, muscular tannin, and exceptional aging capacity.
Geography & Climate
The appellation rises eastward above Vosne-Romanée in two principal historic sectors beside Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
Soils
Brown limestone and rendzina soils vary from shallow upper parcels to deeper, more clay-rich lower sections over Premeaux limestone.
Wine Styles
Only red Pinot Noir is produced, typically powerful, opulent, spicy, and extremely long-lived.
