During the Grands Jour de Bourgogne walkabout tasting, no detailed notes. The cult producer Liger-Belair showed a terrific line-up today. The wines were precise, full of tension, brimming with complex aromas on par with Bizot, Naudin and Ceclie Tremblay, the other over-achievers of the show. TN: The VSR Colombiere (94pt) and Clos du Chateau (94+pt) showed attractive cherry with cinnamon spice and farmyard funk. The VSR Reignots (97pt) and Echezeaux (96pt) took it a few notches up in aromatic depth, the Ech being by far the most structured wine, do not touch that one until 2035 if you are lucky to have it in your cellar.

Grand Jury du Vin - Republic of Georgia; 11/1/2023-11/9/2023 (Republic of Georgia then stopover in Paris and Dijon): Beautiful floral nose with delicious pure red fruit, sugar coated strawberry, raspberry, cherry, rose, a hint of oak, sap, sweet spices and earth. Very good concentration, beautifully layered sweet red fruit, pure and beautifully detailed, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long delicious red fruit driven finish with a hint of oak and rose at the end. I really love Louis Michel’s Clos du Chateau. This is super delicious already, definitely above the village level.

Comte Liger-Bélair aux Grands Jours de Bourgogne 2024: Boisé de luxe, finesse de structure. Un peu trop de bois à ce stade, mais c'est prometteur.

Vosne Millésime - Noblesse des Clos Vougeot - Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Château du Clos de Vougeot): Walkaround tasting with producers. Bigger than Colombiere but less charming or balanced for now. More heft,less sexy, but likely more cellarworthy.
