Anne Gros, Richebourg 2012

Anne Gros makes a lovely Richebourg and the 2012 edtion is certainly no exception. The bouquet is intensely crammed with red and darkberry fruit – notes of raspberries, red and black currant spized with violets, a earthy minerality and a moderate impression of oak. The nose is quite intense yet it has a lovely airy feel. On the palate rich almost velvet fruit … concentrated but still lightfooted and refined. The finish is long and coated with silky fruit … until the minerality of the mighty Richebourg terroir kicks in at the end. Love the delicate balance between the velvet refinement of the fruit and the muscular minerality of the terroir. A gorgeous Richebourg from Anne Gros
