Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice notes, grapes from Nuits and Chambolle, aged 25% in new casks. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and blackberry with notes of cacao, cola and spice. Fine tannins, medium+ savory finish, ending with fruit, spice and slight oaky notes. — 8 months ago

CLB La Colombière 2017 was explosive and with soaring aromatics and continued to blossom beautifully. CLB’s 2017’s are my favorites right now along with Mugneret Gibourg. — 4 years ago

Seductive nose that captivates you instantly. Red berries, Vosne exotic spices and minerals. Intense and weightless at the same time. Finishes long with vibrant energy and freshness. CLB is always such a terrific wine experience 💫 — 4 years ago

At first I found this undrinkable because of the manure smell. But after a day being open it’s wonderful. Smoky aroma. Smooth balanced palate that keeps on giving. Charred plums, smoke, tobacco, white pepper, cinnamon, unsweetened cocoa. It’s a Christmas gift that keeps on giving. — 4 years ago

Absolutely stunning. Quite the contrast to the Colombiere, as this is much more serious and structured and the Aux Cras terroir shines through. New oak is more prevalent, of course, but it’s so integrated already and doesn’t get in the way. The nose is incredibly intense and aromas of dark fruit, sweet spice and a wet rock minerality waft from the glass. While this wine is let’s say, more masculine and less sexy than the Colombiere, there is still a seductive Vosne-like perfume that’s so undeniably CLB and lures you in. The palate is powerful and is full of energy, while at the same time remaining focused and seamlessly delineated. To no surprise length is superior to the Colombiere. Totally irresistible now, but boy this will be a knockout down the road. — 3 years ago

Domaine Bizot lunch today hosted by their winemaker Thomas Berry. This is a producer who’s wines are virtually impossible to find. They have 9 plots with an average yearly production at 9000 btls. Whole cluster with some new oak, very small yields & small amounts of sulphur added. Their wines are lush & pure with no intervention showing purity of fruit, sweet spices along with floral notes. They are so delicious now you can drink them young but will reward long term cellaring. (Aka Liger Belair) — 4 years ago

No. 2 in the Vosne Romanee Grand Cru bracket. Tasted blind. My brief note (sensory overload has set in again!): A perfumed woody smokiness - sweet and gorgeous with a beautiful texture and mouthfeel. “ With Romanee Conti to its eastern boundary it is similar but slightly different. Les Richebourgs to its northern boundary. La Romanee is a Monopole owned by the Liger-Belair family and is the smallest appellation in France at. 0.8452 hectares producing only 250 to 350 cases each vintage. A wonderful wine with at least 2 decades of cellaring before it reaches its peak. — 4 years ago
