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.

This will definitely keep for some years yet, but drinking it now is a hedonistic ...
• Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée La Colombière 2009
  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 ...
