Domaine Richaud

Dark red colour, with ripe red fruits and blackberry on the nose. The fresh aromas and flavours are complemented by supple tannins and underlying fruit intensity. As with Marcel Richaud`s other wines, this wine is characterised by its purity and juicy fruit appeal that matches the elegant feel and fine texture on the fine finish.

Domaine Richaud might be situated closer to the Languedoc than Burgundy, but stylistically Marcel Richaud sees himself as having more in common with the C�te d'Or. He is dismissive of what he describes as the over-extracted styles of the south. The key, he says, is balance and this begins in the meticulously tended vineyards. His new winery has a range of smaller tanks, giving greater flexibility…

This wine is light garnet in colour, with notes of red fruits and black olive. Fresh and balanced on the palate, with hints of violets, it has good structure, rounded tannins and a long finish.
