The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg 1996 is an outstanding vintage, renowned for its power and elegance. The deep ruby ​​red color of this wine already hints at its density. On the nose, it unfolds complex aromas of ripe red fruits such as raspberries and cherries, accompanied by fine spice, earthy notes, and a subtle floral component. On the palate, it displays exceptional structure with powerful, ripe tannins and a fresh, lively acidity that gives the wine remarkable balance. The finish is long and complex, with hints of minerality and a touch of undergrowth that underscores the character of the Richebourg vineyard. The 1996 vintage possesses enormous aging potential and will continue to evolve over the coming decades, already demonstrating remarkable depth and finesse.
