2022 DRC Three Pack ~ Corton, Richebourg, RSV

2022 Corton

The 2022 Corton Grand Cru is open and accessible, offering up aromas of plums and red fruit preserve mingled with exotic spices and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, soft and velvety, with a broad attack that segues into a rich core of exuberant fruit, it's sweet and succulent, concluding with a broad, discreetly heady finish. It was here that the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's harvest began, on 30 August 2022, and as usual, the cuvée unites holdings in Clos du Roi, Bressandes and Renardes.

2022 Richebourg

The 2022 Richebourg Grand Cru has turned out beautifully. It wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet plums and raspberry preserves mingled with notions of pipe tobacco, exotic spices and orange zest and is framed by a deft touch of classy new oak. Full-bodied, rich and layered, it's ample and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit and a lavish, suave profile.

2022 RSV

The 2022 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru was picked on 7, 8 and 10 September. It's another of the more expressive, immediate wines in the range this year, bursting with aromas of dark berry preserve, confit orange, peonies, spices, smoked meats and new oak. Full-bodied, fleshy and unctuous, with a deep core of fruit, no hard edges and sweet structuring tannins, it concludes with a perfumed, vanillin-inflected finish.
