2014 Domaine du Comte Liger Belair, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Aux Reignots 1×1.5L

Robert Parker 94

The 2014 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Reignots has a fragrant bouquet with redcurrant and cranberry aromas, superb mineralite with dried rose petals emerging with time. This is not dissimilar to the Les Suchots but I detected more focus and delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, slightly chalky tannin with a masculine, very poised finish. As I mentioned in my barrel sample note, it exudes Reignots in all its glass. Tasted November 2016. [Neal Martin, 01/09/2017]

Vinous 94

Bright ruby-red. Captivating perfume of black raspberry, dark chocolate, smoked meat and soil. Sappy, savory and palate-saturating, conveying a powerful impression of terroir. This wine began with more saline soil tones than primary fruit but intense dark berry flavors emerged with air without any loss of energy. This very tight-grained wine finishes with noble tannins and outstanding length. A great vin de terroir with a classic 2014 balance. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/03/2017]
