About this Wine
The jewel in the A.F. Gros crown. From flint and florals to gamey depth and Grand Cru poise, this is Richebourg at its most riveting. Whole-cluster power meets ceramic-aged purity, building layer upon layer of nuance. We were the first to taste the final blend—and it stopped us in our tracks.

Tasting Notes
Razor-sharp and deeply refined. This Richebourg glides like silk and roars with dark-fruited grandeur.
Tailored Power. Ceramic Purity. The Pinnacle of Pinot.
There are Grand Crus... and then there’s Richebourg. At once poised and profound, this A.F. Gros showpiece blends elegance with depth in perfect harmony. The nose is quietly explosive—violet, rose petal, black cherry, plum, and wild herbs—with hints of earth and game that slowly unfurl. On the palate? A velvet current of fruit, grounded by mineral snap and a smoky whisper of spice.
The structure is firm but suave. There’s whole-cluster energy here—fermented 20% in bunches, aged in a perfect half-and-half blend of ceramic and oak for tension, clarity, and age-worthiness. One sip and you're in—it's Grand Cru gravity with cinematic grace.

The Plot
Richebourg sits at the summit of Vosne-Romanée’s hallowed slopes, and this parcel—farm-raised by A.F. Gros—is the epitome of Grand Cru finesse. The Soil dates back to the Jurassic period, 150 million years ago! The 2023 vintage was aged in equal parts ceramic amphorae and oak barrels, preserving precision and purity while layering in complexity. We were lucky enough to be the first to taste the full blend—an unforgettable moment.
Technical Details
This wine was fermented using 50–80% whole bunches, bringing freshness, aromatic lift, and structure. The élevage is split evenly between ceramic and oak barrels (50/50), with no more than 20% new oak used — a deliberate choice to preserve purity and finesse. Ceramic vessels play a key role here, offering a neutral ageing environment that enhances the wine’s elegance without contributing any tannins or sulfites. The result is a Grand Cru of remarkable balance, depth, and aging potential, shaped with the gentlest of hands.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
This will benefit from time in the cellar. You can open it now if you enjoy youthful energy, but patience should bring more depth, harmony and complexity.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
