Jasper Morris, 98 Points

"The same brilliant deep purple colour as the Romanée St-Vivant. The bouquet delivers extra depth, extra concentration of a deeper and richer fruit which has still retained a fresh element. A massive wine, almost Bordelais in its intensity, but not uncouth and still unquestionably en route to becoming a great bottle of Burgundy. Lifted at the finish, such suavity. Certainly, the fruit is ripe, even showing some sundried cherries, but the opulence is compelling not cloying. Drink from 2035-2050.

Vinous, 98 Points 

"The 2020 Richebourg Grand Cru is one of my favorite wine in this range, and I say that notwithstanding the fact that Richebourg is rarely a wine I truly adore, at DRC or anywhere else. Dark and somber, the 2020 is packed with blue/black fruits, mocha, lavender and graphite. The typically burly Richebourg tannins are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Purists might say the 2020 is not a typical Richebourg. I would agree with that, in a very positive sense. Statuesque and regal in bearing, with tons of elegance, the 2020 is utterly captivating from the first taste." 

Decanter, 97 Points 

"The Richebourg is noticeably darker in colour than the other wines. There is an inky black concentration of plum and mulberry fruit with abundant mineral, earth, and spice notes. The old vines give a wine of intensity and structure that is a bit slow to evolve. It is more reticent than the Grands Echézeaux, and it took most of the luncheon for the wine to open up and show its potential. This is not a wine for early drinking, but with some time in the cellar it should be magnificent. 11,898 bottles were produced." 

Burghound, 97 Points 

"Note: from a holding of 3.51 ha in both Richebourg proper and Les Verroilles; in 2019 .5 ha in Verroilles was pulled up and replanted in a north-south direction rather than the more typical east-west orientation. Here the notably ripe mocha-inflected nose was restrained to the point that it required aggressive swirling for several minutes before it slowly revealed it cool and exuberantly spicy nose of pure cassis, black raspberry and a plethora of floral and exotic tea elements. The super-sleek and almost painfully intense big-bodied and muscular flavors seem to be built on a base of pungent minerality, all wrapped in a massively and overtly austere and compact yet long finish that just goes and goes. There is a trace of warmth though it's not enough to materially disturb the overall sense of harmony. While the Domaine's Richebourg is always built-to-age, the dazzling 2020 version is going to be a very long-distance runner.
