Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée 2008

The 2008 Vosne-Romanée from Mugneret-Gibourg is open and ready for business, showing grace and Vosne beauty. The palate is fully open, offering juicy fruit and energetic Vosne notes.

This is not a big wine, but rather a display of the core of Vosne as I like it – the fresh, vivid fruit, the coolness of 2008, and the vivid spiciness of the appellation. I adore wines like this.

• Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair 2023s
  Comte Liger-Belair is sort of the origin of Winehog, as it was at this very Domaine where Winehog made its debut at a tasting with Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, Clive Coates and Roy Richards the former agent of Louis-Michel Liger-Belair. Some very competent Burgundy tasters … and this afternoon gave me the idea to start Winehog back in ...
