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

Much better than the 2011 Reignots. Intensely floral with sweet red cherry nose and spices. Difficult to believe that such an elegant and ethereal wine is from 2009. The sweetness towards the end on the palate was deceptive. Made us think the wine was 2010 when in fact the sweetness is attributed to the Suchot plot. — 5 years ago

Bright, but quite ripe, red cherry with almond, nice herbaceous notes and light nutmeg. Reductive notes are there, but not overpowering... so a plus for me. YMMV. A little time to breathe helps.

Thanks to 2015, this is delicious now, but there’s enough grip to hold for a couple years.

So, nowadays we’re paying $48 in Dallas for Hautes-Côtes de Nuits... 2015 is a banner year for everyone apparently. — 6 years ago

Darker, more structured. White pepper early on, later more capsicum, cool and silky, higher toned. Would have liked it more if it wasn't for the peppers — 8 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

Liger Belair dinner. 1st flight was a trio of his white 2012-2014 vintages. They all had ripe stone, citrus, tropical fruits, white flower, honey & creamy texture. I preferred the 2012. — 5 years ago

Wow, what a nose. So regal and beautiful! Exotic sweet spices. A bit more black than red fruit but difficult to pinpoint what fruit. Immediately cries out to Vosne Romanee. Quite like Liger Belair once again. Touch of sweetness in the end. Class! — 6 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

This striking blend of Beaujolais Gamay and Côte d'Or Pinot Noir offers cool scents of black cherry and licorice and a noble rusticity to its very ripe, plush flavors of black raspberry and spices energized by saline minerality and a note of granite. Broad tannins won't prevent early enjoyment. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2018) $25 — 6 years ago

I really the the philosophy behind these wines. Made by Mike Etzel and Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, the fire comes from Jory soils, the flood from willakenzie . A powerful, big, and unmistakably new world pinot -- but remarkably balanced and not without grace. Fleshy raspberries, cinnamon, and scorched earth. I could drink many of these -- if however they weren't so aggressively priced... — 9 years ago
