Richebourg
The Richebourg produced by Henri Jayer en métayage from Meo-Camuzet family until 2000; mid-slope, thin soils. The majority of the vineyard is part known as Les Verouilles. This portion of Richebourg is oriented a bit towards the north, while the climat known as Les Richebourg is slightly better exposed, with vineyards exposed more directly towards the east and thus ripens a bit sooner. In an effort to counter this, the Méo-Camuzet vines are planted with a north-south orientation.
Henri Jayer, Richebourg--Vintage 1978
Grand Cru. Côte de Nuits
Bin-soiled label. Level at 3,5cms below base of cork
Tasting note: An absolutely stunningly complex nose of virtually every spice imaginable framed in earth and strong secondary aromas leads to full-bodied, rich, pure and still intense flavors that deliver fantastic depth and length. There is real lift and vibrancy here with knockout intensity and this wine has arrived at its apogee. Two other recent bottles however have suggested that the beginning of the end has arrived as there is the slightest hint of dryness on the finish though it is largely buffered by the impressive amounts of velvet. Classy and refined in every sense and while this is in no danger of cracking up anytime soon, I would begin looking for reasons to drink this over the next decade. Consistent notes. Allen Meadows, 01/01/2005, 96/100.
