"The 2009 Richebourg chez Méo is another brilliant example of the vintage. The deep and utterly profound nose delivers scents of red and black cherries, plums, a touch of blood orange, woodsmoke, cocoa powder, duck, beautiful soil tones and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and very, very elegant, with a rock solid core of fruit, ripe tannins and great length and grip on the supremely elegant finish. The Méo-Camuzet style of Richebourg is never a blockbuster, and this stylistic bent has really done it a great service in a potentially riper year such as 2009, as this wine is a beautiful synthesis of ripe, pure fruit and classy soil."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
