Grand Cru vineyard as a separate AOC area in the Burgundy municipality of Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits region. The vineyard was established by the Cistercians in the Middle Ages. The vineyards cover eight hectares on a gently rising, east-facing slope at 260 to 280 metres above sea level on clay-limestone soils with numerous heat-retaining limestones that ensure good drainage.

Richebourg - Weinberge

Richebourg lies between the Premier Cru sites Aux Brulées (north), Cros Parantoux, Les Petits Monts, Aux Reignots (west) and the Grand Crus Romanée-Saint-Vivant (east) and La Romanée and Romanée-Conti (south). The site, which is one of the best Burgundian Grand Crus, is divided into the two lieu-dits (parcels) Les Véroilles (also known as Les Varoilles sous Richebourgs) and Les Richebourg. Only single-varietal red wine made from 100% Pinot Noir is produced here. Ten producers share the site, including Bichot (Domaine du Clos Frantin), Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Grivot, Anne Gros, J. Gros, Hudelot-Noellat, Domaine Leroy and Méo-Camuzet.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
