Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne Romanee Clos du Chateau 2014

The Clos du Chateau 2014 was bottled already in September … so this note is based on a tasting of the bottled wine. I would not say that Clos du Chateau is another big step up in quality from Colombiere … but it’s most certainly much more floral and expressive offering more minerality and Vosne spicyness. The bouquet offers juicy fruit, crisp minerality and loads of Vosne spices. On the palate fine very juicy fruit – delicate and refined – with a vibrant and very charming acidity driven fruit. While this is a quite intense wine it appears lightfooted and very expressive … gorgeous juice .. a essential expression of Vosne-Romanee.
