Critics reviews

David Schildknecht 93/100
Liger-Belairs 2007 Richebourg manages the trick of projecting ancient vines density and grip with an uncanny sense of levity and elegance. Smoky black tea, bitter chocolate, peat, game, cassis, and plum cavort on a rich, lushly-textured palate, finishing with dynamic interaction and an at once soothing and stimulating effect. This should be worth following for a decade or more, but unlike in so many vintages, I do not see the need to defer the huge pleasure of this Richebourgs company.David Schildknecht - 29/06/2010

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
