The best grand cru is the 1991 Richebourg, a wine with a huge bouquet of spring flowers, blackcurrants, and black-raspberries complemented judiciously by spicy new oak. Full-bodied, deep, and surprisingly soft and accessible, this luscious wine should be drunk over the next 7-8 years.
Hudelot's 1991s are the finest wines I have tasted from this estate. Low yields, along with Hudelot junking his mobile bottler, who often stripped the wines by excessive filtration, have worked wonders regarding the final product. All of these offerings taste like fat, voluptuous, opulent 1990s. Gobs of sweet ripe fruit can be found in every wine, as they make for luscious, decadent mouthfuls of red burgundy. All the wines are recommended, but several possess more complexity and aromatic dimension.
