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): Expressive nose displaying generous black fruit, crushed blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, rose, spicy spices and fine limestone mineral. Exquisite palate, incredibly layered pure delicious black fruit, fluid and silky, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a seamless long pure black fruit driven finish. It is already super enjoyable.

Comte Liger-Bélair aux Grands Jours de Bourgogne 2024: Élégant et épicé, il est aussi marqué par bois à ce stade, mais l'équilibre y est, c'est prometteur 92++

Vosne Millésime - Noblesse des Clos Vougeot - Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Château du Clos de Vougeot): Walkaround tasting with producers. This is an exhilarating wine, so bright and elegant despite obvious lush ripeness. More clear structural support than either of the two fine Village wines just tasted, this might well be better than the great Echezeaux tasted next.
