Domaine du Clos Frantin Richebourg Grand Cru Vosne-Romanée 2021 – iconic Burgundy from one of the world’s most coveted terroirs

Richebourg Grand Cru 2021 from Domaine du Clos Frantin is one of the great wines of Burgundy. Pure elegance, depth and terroir in its most refined form. The wine comes from the famous Grand Cru Richebourg vineyard in Vosne-Romanée, one of the most prestigious vineyards in the Côte de Nuits.

Domaine du Clos Frantin is owned by the renowned Bichot family, who for generations have worked with some of Burgundy’s most coveted parcels. At the house, the goal is always to emphasize the pure expression of the terroir. That’s why the fields are farmed organically and each parcel is vinified individually to preserve the character and finesse of the area.

Richebourg is one of the most legendary Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy. The appellation only covers around 20 acres, making production very limited. Each year, only around 40,000 bottles are made from the entire field. This makes the wines rare and sought after by collectors and Burgundy lovers.

The vineyard is located in the heart of Vosne-Romanée. The landscape is gently undulating and protected by the Concœur ridge. At the same time, the mother rock is close to the ground. These conditions create a terroir with perfect drainage and a unique minerality that contributes to the complexity of the wine.

the 2021 vintage shows Richebourg’s classic style with great finesse and elegance. The Pinot Noir grape expresses itself here with deep aromatic complexity, silky tannins and impressive balance. It’s a wine that can be enjoyed after a little ageing and develop beautifully over many years in the cellar.

For collectors and Burgundy enthusiasts, Richebourg Grand Cru is one of the most coveted wines in the world. Domaine du Clos Frantin’s version is a fine example of how precision in the field and respect for the terroir create a wine with power, finesse and longevity.
