Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne Clos du Chateau 2005

The Vosne Romanee Clos du Chateau is showing brilliantly. On the nose fine and delicate red fruit .. organic and offering the full range of Vosne spices. On the palate open with a lovely expressive red fruit, intense for a village with very fine length and complexity. A gorgeous and big village … but also evidence that Louis-Michel has improved quite a lot since the mighty 2005 vintage. This is nevertheless a top Vosne village – magnificent Juice. Drinking well now .. but need some time to unfold completely.
