About Nathalie Richez
Nathalie is guided by her deep love of Burgundy, and while it must perhaps be tempting for a newcomer to stamp their wines with an abundance of personality, hers are egoless, unassuming, and strikingly transparent.
Nathalie’s 0.40 hectares worth of Pinot Noir in La Justice—near the border of Saint-Aubin and La Rochepot—is split among two parcels, one 60 years of age and the other 25 years of age. Her just-so touch is on full display in this wine, which leads with clean, ripe, bright red cherry fruit framed by soft, polite tannins. Raised entirely in used 228-liter barrels, it bears no trace of oak vanilla on its beautifully balanced palate.
