The Richebourg Grand Cru 1988 from Domaine Jean Grivot presents a deep garnet red color with slight signs of ripeness at the rim. The nose unfolds with an intense and complex bouquet of dark fruits such as blackberries, black cherries, and plums, accompanied by floral notes such as violets and rose petals. Earthy nuances of undergrowth and truffle, as well as spicy accents such as cinnamon, cloves, and a hint of leather, lend the wine additional complexity. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet elegant, with a well-integrated tannin structure and balanced acidity that harmoniously supports the fruitiness and spiciness. The aromas of ripe dark fruit continue, complemented by discreet oak notes and a subtle minerality. The finish is long and complex, with a lingering impression of spice and a fine balance between fruit and structure. This Grand Cru from the 1988 vintage demonstrates the exceptional potential and artisanal precision of Domaine Jean Grivot, producing wines of remarkable depth and elegance.
