Very focus raspberry, bright fruits. Hint of cherries. minerals, a dynamic finish with layers of subtleties.

Domaine du Comté Ligner Belair - La Colombiere - Vosne Romanée


Breathtaking panoply of fruits, coffee beans, cedar, star anise. intense earth , dried flowers, hint of Vetiver. Super refine. Finish with clove, pepper. Sleek tannins provide the ability for the long haul. This wine gave real emotional impact.
This wine coming from the Domaine’s 0.78 hectare of parcel, old vines of 60-70 years of age. Limestone & pebbles soil.

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard - 1er cru Aux Reignots - Vosne Romanee 2004


Score: 18.25/20
Intoxicating earth, oakmoss, surrounded by minerals. impeccable balance of acidity. full of life & vigour. Truly brought me euphoria. Velvety density with lots of charm. Amber & Truffle earth subside on back of my palate. Finish is significant and surreal. Be patient, this wine will be a killer in 6-8 year time.
The Aux Reignots is a 1.62 hectare of premier cru, just uphill of La Romanee and Romane conti. elevation of 280-320m. well drained sandy soil , clay limestone mixture. Considered to be one of the greatest vineyard in Burgundy.
