🏰 The 1992 vintage in 布根地 (Burgundy) produced magnificent, fresh, and lively red wines, despite being noted as a great white vintage. Erratic weather in May led to inconsistent fruit set, which fortunately helped to reduce a potentially large crop. A warm and sunny August ensured excellent ripening, allowing for an early harvest before the rains arrived. The berries were notably large and juicy. This Jean Grivot Richebourg Grand Cru from 1992 offers enticing floral and spice notes on the nose. It presents with decent weight and length, though some tasters have noted a slight drying sensation on the mid-palate. Community reviews highlight earthy, mushroom, and mineral notes, alongside oak, dark chocolate, and cherry. Red fruit characteristics such as cherry and strawberry are prominent, complemented by black fruit notes of black cherry and dark fruit. Further complexities include perfume, rose petal, violet, licorice, savory, anise, chestnut, nutty, toast, orange, citrus, cream, apple, passion fruit, and prune. A review of a similar aged Richebourg noted 'lots of life and quite exciting and still have long way to go'. Another for a 1999 vintage mentioned 'fresh herbs, plums and dark berries' in a 'lovely and full body wine,' layered and detailed with a 'long spicy finish'. 【A highly sought-after Grand Cru from a vintage that produced magnificent, fresh, and lively wines, with significant aging potential.】 🍴 This prestigious Pinot Noir is an excellent accompaniment to duck, goose, and various game birds. 🥂 Richebourg Grand Cru is a highly collectible wine.
