Elegance is captured within each glass; it's a testament to the minimalist intervention philosophy of Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair.

The 2014 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots had to brush away a bit of reduction when I tasted at the domaine, allowing the blackberry, raspberry and iodine aromas to emerge. As with all of the domaine's 2014s, it is very well defined. The palate is silky smooth on the entry with a fine line of acidity, and tensile with a palpable sense of symmetry towards the finish that lingers long in the mouth. Just very Reignots.

The 2014 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots has a fragrant bouquet with redcurrant and cranberry aromas, superb mineralité with dried rose petals emerging with time. This is not dissimilar to the Les Suchots but I detected more focus and delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, slightly chalky tannin with a masculine, very poised finish. As I mentioned in my barrel sample note, it exudes Reignots in all its glass. Tasted November 2016.
