Tasted at Cote D'Or just a few month before the tragic death of Bernard Loiseau. The 1995 Vosne Romanee village came after Meo-Camuzet 1993 Clos de Vougeot, and was amazing. The sheer intensity of the wine overpowered the bigger terroir of the Meo wine. The Jayer village wine was lush, silky and …

Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne Romanee Aux Reignots 2008
The Aux Reignot 2008 is very crisp with a fantastic minerality. Pure pinot flavors, and a very crisp and refined bouquet. Medium+ body with a fine and vibrant length.

Domaine Regis Forey Les Gaudichots 2009
Les Gaudichots 2009 is quite a dark wine. A traditional style Burgundy, for cellaring. Needs time to open up, but has quite a good length and fruit on the palate. Some hints of the very fine terroir. Not showing at the moment but still a fine and maybe even very good to fine effort from Forey. …
