1997 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately, after 30 mins and after 2 hours. Threw a little sed but not much. Cinnamon, straw, rhubarb and strawberry on the nose. Light-medium body. Good focus and concentration throughout the tasting gauntlet; finishing with a couplet of dust and earth. Not improving but likely to hold the line for an additional 3-4 years. Love isn't always on time. No. No. No. 10.22.23. — a month ago

Served blind. We were close on the year. Guessed the appellation. Terrific. — 4 months ago

A brooding, intense nose. Dark red fruit, a bit of oak, intense violets and earthy fruit. Tight and masculine next to the Mugnier, but lovely stuff. — 4 years ago

A unicorn wine. This is a completely different expression of Chardonnay compared to the Grand Cru Beaune Whites preceding this. This had some similarities to Chablis. Minerally with a honeyed finish. Should be better in 5 years. I was thrilled to be able to taste this wine. — 3 months ago

Liger Belair Dinner 2nd flight in Mag. This is a wine that is not imported to the US as the quantity is so minuscule. Lots of black cherry, raspberry with good structure & purity of fruit. My favorite of the group. — 5 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

Deep fruit but light edges. Pretty lifted strawberry notes on the de Vogue gnarly bed of intense dark fruit. Dynamic and pretty. Cherry notes. — 2 months ago

Absolutely stunning. Quite the contrast to the Colombiere, as this is much more serious and structured and the Aux Cras terroir shines through. New oak is more prevalent, of course, but it’s so integrated already and doesn’t get in the way. The nose is incredibly intense and aromas of dark fruit, sweet spice and a wet rock minerality waft from the glass. While this wine is let’s say, more masculine and less sexy than the Colombiere, there is still a seductive Vosne-like perfume that’s so undeniably CLB and lures you in. The palate is powerful and is full of energy, while at the same time remaining focused and seamlessly delineated. To no surprise length is superior to the Colombiere. Totally irresistible now, but boy this will be a knockout down the road. — 3 years ago
