The La Romanee 2008 is very expressive and floral – a exiting La Romanee as it’s a vintage very much structured and driven by the acidity. The bouquet is offering a juicy organic red fruit spiced with a multitude of Vosne spices .. violets, peony rose, cinnamon and allspice. On the palate very juicy fruit, nice midpalate weight for the vintage – very energetic acidity and a lovely minerality. Love the expressive nose and the very vibrant acidity driven fruit … very typical for the vintage. Quite forward now, and will provide excellent drinking over the next decade and even longer from this format. A treat to enjoy this wine.

- Visit Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair – 2017s from cask First taste of the 2017s from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair … a rather fresh and vivid vintage. After 2015 and 2016 – intense and dense vintages we find the 2017 a lighter and perhaps more lively and vivacious vintage. I do find many wines from Vosne-Romanee very well balanced in the 2017 vintage – and while it’s ...

I first tasted the 2016s in June 2017, and while most of the wines showed well on that occasion, the extra six months of elevage have defined, detailed and clarified the picture of the wines. No doubt Louis-Michel Liger-Belair have done very well ...
