2014 Domaine du Comte Liger Belair, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Clos Chateau 1x750ml

Robert Parker 90-92

The 2014 Vosne-Romanee Clos du Chateau, which is 100% destemmed, has more red fruit than the 2014 Colombieres — raspberry coulis, pressed flowers, quite nuanced with nicely integrated new oak. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, edgy and fresh with good tension interwoven from start to finish, and a tang of spice on the aftertaste. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]

Vinous 87

(bottled in October of 2015): Medium red color A bit more diffuse on the nose than the Colomiere, offering scents of strawberry and smoky underbrush Shows similarly slightly decadent flavors in the mouth, conveying an impression of evolution and lacking the lift of the vintage’s better examples This would appear best for early drinking, although Louis-Michel Liger-Belair noted that he thought the same thing about the 2004 version in 2006 and that wine is still alive today [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2017]
