Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée Clos du Chateau 2013

The 2013 Liger-Belair Clos du Chateau is firing on all cylinders, and is a magnificent wine, currently exploding with Vosne spices and airy, energetic fruit.

It’s very expressive and exuberant, flashing all its scents and spicy notes as a great tribute to Vosne-Romanée.

While not a big wine, it is a true, core expression of Vosne in its essence. I am almost lost for words, and truly delighted. It somehow reminds me of the Bizot Vosne village from 2013, which expresses the same unparalleled Vosne vividness. Simply put, a vin d’émotion.

It’s lively, with ever-so-slight reduction and loads of pinot droit fruit; the cinnamon is still in the background. This will definitely keep for some years yet, but drinking it now is a hedonistic ...

  Vin d’émotion 91-92p Fine Drink from 2022 Tasted 17/10/2022 Emotions: The 2009 La Colombière has settled into its stride, and the oak is now beautifully integrated after being more prominent earlier on. It is a refined wine, and tasted blind the guess was a 1er cru. Tremendous hedonistic joy and pleasure – a full house! I still prefer the Clos ...
