Lot #11. Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 2006

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 94 NM.
"The 2006 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots shows its class over the 2003 and 2004. It has a glorious, beautifully defined bouquet of raspberry and crushed strawberry fruit laid over scents of cold stone, violets and potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky smooth texture, very well-judged acidity and a sense of mineralité that this propitious premier cru ought to show. Weightless on the finish, this is a seductive Vosne-Romanée by Louis-Michel . . . . I will be covering Louis-Michel’s highly praised; elusive and expensive wines in future issues of The Wine Advocate. But for now, in October I attended a fascinating tasting of older vintages to glean how they age. Certainly, these wines are imbued with a citrus freshness that verges of sorbet-like with some wines. They clearly go out to impress and impress they do. What these wines refuse to do is short-change the Burgundy-lover apropos perfume or flavor; they willingly go out there to satisfy the senses. They also appear to age slowly and gracefully . . ." Wine Advocate #210, Dec 2013
