This 1957 Richebourg has been in the cold and damp cellars of Maison Remoissonet, deep under the strets of Beaune, since the days it was first bottled. During its many years of cellaring, it was never subjected to movement or noticeable temperature fluctuations and is, therefore, a pristine example of the wine that was bottle decades ago. It was pulled from their underground cellars and released in March, 2010.
The wine was uncorked among several other beasts, including La Tache, aged grand crus and 04's from Leroy, outstanding efforts from Jean-Yves Bizot, etc. And it was beautiful. Sublime, in fact. A wine that deeply impresses both mind and sense. Full of elegance and outstanding pinot noir expression.
