Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne-Romanee 1er Aux Reignots 2006

The 2006 Vosne-Romanee 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 mineralite that this propitious premier cru ought to show. Weightless on the finish, this is a seductive Vosne-Romanee by Louis-Michel and it should drink well over the next two decades.
