Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, attired in his regulation red trousers, greeted me at the winery in the heart of Vosne-Romanée. Together, we tasted the complete range of wines, which expanded with the 2022 vintage after he took over some choice parcels within Domaine Lamarche. Before discussing the 2023s, he mentioned that he lost 80% of production in 2024 since Vosne was one of the worst affected by rot.
“It was the first time I have seen this kind of wide timeframe of picking. Usually there is one week when everyone picks, but in 2023, it was completely spread out. A lot of people were waiting. Some people did not manage their vineyards well, so they had to wait for ripeness, or they went very quickly from underripe to overripe. I started on September 4 until September 10. The heatwaves began on the first day, so we began picking at seven and finished at one or two in the afternoon. It was a slightly easier sorting than usual. All the wines are aged in 100% new oak.
Liger-Belair went on, “I think it is a vintage where you have people that picked before September 10 and those that picked after. The latter had a huge quantity and risked underripeness because the crop was too abundant. Some people could have double the volume. We made less 5% less in 2023 than 2022 by taking care in the vineyard and doing green harvesting on a wider range [of parcels] than usual.

“There was no big challenge,” Louis Michel Liger-Belair tells me with typical sangfroid as he arranges a multitude of pre-prepared half-bottles on the table. Of course, there are more than there were last year: entering a long-term métayage agreement with Nathalie Pacareau of Domaine Lamarche adds notable cuvées such as Vosne-Romanée Clos Rameau and Grands-Echézeaux to what was already one of the Côte d’Or’s most stellar portfolios in. Plus, unlike in 2021, his hand was not forced by the frost-afflicted growing season to blend his lieux-dits together into a generic Vosne Premier Cru.
“We had a pretty generous vintage,” he continues. “You can have a good vintage with quantity. I enjoyed the harvest. We picked from August 30, when the holidays are finished, but you still have summer weather, which means you could have a good time with the pickers [e.g., enjoying a nice cool beer after a hard day’s work]. In 2023, we picked five days later and it was too cool at night to have a drink. We had our three kids here with their friends, and that changed the ambiance. It’s the first year with all the cooling system in the winery that gives the wines a bit more roundness. It’s an easier way of working, instead of using the big machines we had in the past. The major change was the increase of 40% of the production with the additional new vineyards as well as an increase in the size of existing vineyards. We use a different team for the Bourgogne wines and use my dedicated team for the 10 hectares. The wines came in at 12.8% to 13.8%, a little higher for the younger vines. The malo went pretty quickly because the malic levels were pretty low. Some of the 2022s have already been racked. I’m not sure if we need a too-long aging in barrel to keep the freshness.” Let’s not beat about the bush; these are not inexpensive wines. On the other hand, they can be astonishingly good and in my opinion, there has been some fine-tuning, especially in terms of the élevage, that has taken the wines to a higher level than a decade ago.

I enter Louis-Michel Liger-Belair’s La Cuverie for the first time. There’s no vat in sight, no hose to trip over. Why? Well, this is the opening day of the brand-new café, shop and wine bar, designed to give the village a much-needed centre-point, a pulse, a chance to drink the wines of the appellation (and not just Liger-Belair’s) in Vosne-Romanée and not afar. “Apart from this being the original name of the house, I called it La Cuverie, so if a winemaker’s spouse asks where he is, they can claim to be at ‘la cuverie’” he tells me with a smile. I have to say, it’s a fantastic venue, tasteful and long-overdue, and it was nice to see the Mugneret-Gibourg sisters enjoying lunch with their team in the other corner. Back to the 2021s…
“We only lost 40% in the Clos des Grande Vignes because we placed a fan in the middle to send the air around the vineyard instead of going up into the air,” he explains, which sounds completely logical. “It mixes up the air flows. It is also less time-consuming – the team cannot work three days in a row. We usually have one candle for 16 vines, but we used one every four. We picked from 24 September, which is different from picking in August. Workers don’t go out and have a drink. It changed the spirit of the harvest. There are no kids; the guys want to go back and see their families. Making wine becomes an obligation rather than pure pleasure. So I think it makes the wines a bit stricter. Frost and snow are crystal, and I feel the wines are crystalline, not voluptuous, like in 2019 and 2020. We are back to the great vintages of the 1970s to 1990s. Maybe it is close to 2001? It took me a long time to like the 2021 – tasting the wines in spring, I asked myself: Where is the wine? Even during the next harvest, I wasn’t sure…but now I can see their potential. The wines will be bottled after Christmas and later for the top cuvées. I’m not in a rush.”

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair and his hound guided me through their 2020s at Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair on a typical foggy autumnal morning in Burgundy. He began by explaining the importance of sorting the crop, in contrast with others who claimed that hardly any sorting was necessary in 2020. "We had a tent with six seated people to sort out perfect grapes from those affected by the heat. The perfect ones were de-stemmed and others were re-sorted, including after de-stemming. So in the end, we lost 30% of the crop due to heat in August and then another 10% from further sorting at the winery. We began picking on August 24. It was the last week of the summer holidays, so we had 40 pickers every night for dinner. I am surprised by the acidity in 2020 – around pH 3.45 to 3.50. The alcohol is between 12.5° and 14.0° with no adjustment necessary. The Grand Crus have around 15% stems for a bit of seasoning." These were sensual, gorgeous wines from top to bottom, crowned by a regal La Romanée. Quite a few of these cuvées will require cellar age, so do not be deceived by their sumptuousness and give them as long as you can in a cool, damp cellar.

Thankfully Louis-Michel Liger-Belair greeted me at his winery. I say that because he had fallen victim to Covid a few weeks earlier. Now he is recovered and back to his normal self. “I like the freshness of the 2019 and the balance,” he told me. “They will be easy wines to taste young but will age because of the acidity. We had a bit of frost in March, flowering was long and we lost part of the crop so that we lost around 40% in total. Every month we had something that reduced yields by 10%. We started the picking on 14 September, three days earlier than expected and harvested over the next seven days. We used around 20% whole bunches across the range, which is a bit more than previous years, but less than in 2020. The vinification was super-easy because it was not too warm and that was good for the alcoholic fermentation. It was the first vintage in the new cuverie that helps in terms of space and cleanliness, though it has not changed the way we do things. I would say that 2019 was far easier to make than 2018 because if you picked too late, then you could have two degrees more alcohol. We did not have those issues in 2019. The alcohol levels are between 13.0° to 14.0°.”
These samples had been racked and finished and were ready to be bottled around November, so they were essentially finished wines. There is always a sense of plushness and luxuriant tannins with respect to Comte Liger-Belair’s wines. This was a strong set of wines as you would expect, crowned by a sensual La Romanée, though I was taken most by the Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Cras. The Aux Reignots and Aux Brûlées will tussle it out for the best Vosne-Romanée in show, though I was seeking a bit more complexity apropos the Clos Vougeot this year.

I visited Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair on one of Burgundy's many thoroughly miserable rainy and cold day. Fortunately there was Louis-Michel’s regulation red trousers to brighten everything up, plus of course, his 2018s. “There are two different kinds of wines, those that are fresh and picked early and those jammy and fruity that were picked later," he told me in typically candid fashion. "I don’t think the 2018s will need a long barrel ageing if you want to keep the fruit and the floral aspect of the wine, which is why I racked some wines earlier than expected. I started picking on 4 September. The 2018 vintage is pretty decent in terms of quantity at around 32hl/ha, which is just under 2017, which is useful since the 2019 vintage is short. The pH levels were good in 2018, between 3.5 and 3.7. I think there are unbalanced wines but less overripe wines that I think you might find in 2019 if you didn’t sort well. I used around 20% whole bunch on the clay premier crus to give more grip to the wines. 12.5-14% with Cras the highest, nothing really high." These 2018s are mostly very impressive with a question mark lingering over a couple of cuvées such as the Clos de Vougeot. The La Romanée is stunning although this comes with prohibitive prices, yet there are several Village and Premier Crus well worth seeking out.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair guided me through his latest vintage. He was attired in trademark red trousers, as usual. (I am not sure if it is the same pair or if he has an entire walk-in wardrobe of identical pairs). I have followed his journey since he took over the running of his family’s historic estate back in 2001 and transformed it into one of the leading producers. It is now firmly ensconced in the highest echelons of Burgundy, as one would expect given the monopole jewel of La Romanée and an array of Premier Crus around Vosne-Romanée and Nuits Saint-Georges. Never one to sit still, Louis-Michel has a new vat room under construction that will include an underground tunnel linking it with the barrel cellar.
“There are two keys for the 2017 vintage,” he explained in the upper-floor oak-paneled office overlooking the courtyard. One thing Louis-Michel is never short of is opinion. “Firstly, yields. It is the first vintage in a while where there was potential to over-crop. You could have high yields and make diluted but ripe wines. Yields averaged 34hl/ha, which was my goal. We found that one out of every 10 vines had the potential to overproduce so we took a bunch off. Vine by vine, we had a look and evened out the number of bunches. The second is duration of élevage. If you have a pre-set time in terms of length of barrel ageing, then you might not capture fruit. All the wines are racked and will be bottled at the beginning of December rather than February, two or three cuvées possibly a bit later. We picked early, from September 9. The quality was great and phenolic ripeness was reached with 12.5° to 13.0° natural alcohol. Some cuvées finished their malolactic early and others not until June or July. A few wines lagged behind in terms of developing their respective personalities.”
As one expects these days, the 2017s from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair are beautifully sculpted. They are not as powerful or perhaps as complex as the 2015s or 2016s, although Louis-Michel’s astute decision in terms of moderating yields and picking date have ensured that the wines are imbued with freshness and the necessary acidity to maintain balance. There is a smooth sheen to these wines, which are quite sensual and sumptuous in style. Yes, the 2017 La Romanée is bewitching, though none but the richest can now afford it, even if you can find it. But there is plenty elsewhere, including a sublime Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Cras and a dashing Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots vying with Les Suchots for supremacy.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair considers 2016 to be “a great Burgundy-style vintage: ripe but not overripe, with medium weight and lovely freshness like old Burgundy vintages.” Of course vine yields were another matter entirely, with frost and some mildew limiting estate-wide production to just 22 hectoliters per hectare, with the range from as little as 4.5 to 32. Liger-Belair harvested in six days, beginning on September 24. He vinified several--but not all--of his crus with a portion of whole clusters, retaining the small bunches with small, well-aerated berries. He chaptalized his wines about half a degree, noting that the ‘16s now have about 13.5% alcohol.
All of the wines I tasted are aging in 100% new oak (only the Clos du Château had been racked), although Liger-Belair is now using some 350-liter barrels for his village wines. Incidentally, the 2015s I tasted from bottle in November were showing well—surprisingly so, noted Liger-Belair, who believes that “for such a big vintage, it's unreasonable to think that the wines will show well during the year after the bottling.”

Two thousand fifteen was Louis-Michel Liger-Belair’s 16th vintage, and he told me that it was hard to compare it with any other year. “The wines are fresher than the 2009s and better balanced than the 2005s,” he told me in November. “They were closed at the beginning and are just now starting to open, which is a good sign. I think they will age very well.”
Liger-Belair harvested between September 5 and 10 and the wines are all between 13% and 13.5% alcohol without chaptalization. Liger-Belair told me he did pumpovers early each morning but only two punchdowns at the beginning of the fermentations--“and that was it.” He vinified his crus with about 20% whole clusters, which he described as a bit more than usual. Some wines spent as many as 25 days in vat, also a bit longer than average for wines at this address. Other than the Vosne-Romanée Clos du Château, the 2015s were still in barrels in November and had not been sulfured since the harvest.
Incidentally, all of the wines I tasted were in 100% new barrels, which is now an exception in Burgundy. When I asked Liger-Belair about his continued preference for new oak, he responded that “even with one-year-old barrels, my wines are too reduced; there’s not enough exchange with air. Plus, the cost of a new barrel works out to only one euro per bottle.”

According to Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, “the 2014s show more terroir up-front than the ‘15s" He went on: "I think that the 2014s will also be easier to taste earlier, but it doesn’t mean that this is a light vintage"

According to Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, “the 2014s show more terroir up-front than the ‘15s." He went on: "I think that the 2014s will also be easier to taste earlier, but it doesn’t mean that this is a light vintage."

This tasting, held to celebrate Liger-Belair’s 200th anniversary, was the most comprehensive retrospective of La Romanée ever staged.

One of things I like most about Louis-Michel Liger-Belair's wines is the way they combine bright fruit with saline minerality and breadth; and they manage to accomplish this neat trick across a range of vintage conditions. Liger-Belair started harvesting in 2014 on September 15 with grape sugars in the 12. 3% to 12. 8% range, and the phenolics, he reported, were ripe."As of 2013 we're getting much better ripeness due to our farming practices," he told me, "due to our change in 2008 to organic farming." The estate had issues with the Drosophila suzukii only in its Clos du Château vineyard, added Liger-Belair. The '14s, he added have pHs between 3. 45 and 3. 5, but show "a good fresh expression of acidity. They will have aging potential based on their balance and ripeness." A number of these wines had been racked a few weeks prior to my November visit and were still a bit disturbed and missing some of their high notes.

"We picked late in 2013 but had a certain ripeness," said Louis-Michel Liger-Belair. "Today we would not identify the 2013s as having been picked in October." In fact, Liger-Belair told me he generally prefers 2013 to 2014, even if the 2014s convey a more refined version of their various terroirs.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair's 2013s are transparent, crystalline wines that express the signatures of the year to the fullest. Like all of his colleagues, Liger-Belair grappled with challenging conditions all year long. Yields are down 40%, but in the end, that was likely a saving grace, as the wines possess striking purity of fruit and lovely depth, both obtained with slightly lower levels of maturity than is the norm. The 2013s were vinified with around 15% whole clusters, mostly on sites with a prevalence of clay, which is the norm here. Production is tiny and the wines are very hard to find, but I rarely miss a chance to drink them when I can, as these are among my personal favorites in Burgundy.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair vinified his crus in 2013 with about 15% whole clusters, noting that it's almost always the fruit from clay-based soils--as opposed to limestone--that gets this treatment, "otherwise the wines are too round and supple." Liger-Belair began harvesting on October 5, his 40th birthday, bringing in fruit with grape sugars between 12% and 12.5% and then chaptalizing by about half a degree. "Low yields were critical to having enough alcohol to buffer the wines' acidity," he said, adding that production was in the 22 hectoliters-per-hectare range. The malos were late, finishing mostly in June and July, but the Petit-Monts lingered until August. "The wines' peak of oakiness was at the end of the malos," he told me. "It's really only since September that the wines have gained in readability." Liger-Belair says the 2013s have a similar balance of alcohol and acidity to the 2011s but that the newer vintage possesses more fruit. "I'd drink the 2012s and 2013s are the same time, but for different reasons."

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair's finished 2012s from bottle are every bit as thrilling as they were from barrel. Yields were down around 40% across the board, which comes comes through in the sheer richness and depth of the wines. Still, the 2012s stand out for their impeccable overall balance and transparency. Liger-Belair used about 15-20% whole clusters, mostly on 1er Crus with high clay content, such as Chaumes, Suchots, Brulées and Clos des Grandes Vignes, and on the Grand Crus. Liger-Belair added that malos were quite late in 2012, both in relative and absolute terms. Liger-Belair fans will want to take note of two new wines in the range, both from the Clos des Grandes Vignes in Premeaux.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair has crafted a set of very rich 2012s that retain good energy for all their creaminess of texture. He predicts that they will be for drinking at about the same time as the 2012s "but for different reasons." The 2013s lead with their fruit, while the 2012s are more about body and structure--and elegance.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair describes 2012 as an elegant vintage, like 2010, "but with more body and structure--and not overripe." His overall production was down 40% (the estate-wide yield was just 24 hectoliters per hectare) in 2012 "due to all factors," and he brought in his grapes in just three and a half days beginning on September 22. Potential alcohol levels were between 12.5% and 12.8% and Liger-Belair chaptalized 0.3 or 0.4 degree to extend the fermentations by an extra two or three days. Since 2003, he has been relying far more on pumpovers than punchdowns; in fact, he told me he does just two pigeages per cuvee. Although he continues to age his wines in all new oak, he is cutting back on the wood influence by using more 350-liter barrels, especially for his village wines. As a general rule, his wines from clay soils finished their malos earlier, by mid-March, while the grand crus and the wines from limestone-rich soil finished in mid-July.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair's 2011s are beautiful. For the most part, the 2011s should provide plenty of pleasure in the near and medium term, although I must say La Romanée needs considerable time, even if it is a real stunner today. Liger-Belair draws parallels with 2007, but adds that 2011s have considerably higher acidities. Liger-Belair used fewer whole clusters in 2011 than he typically does, which means 20% for the Chaumes, Suchots, Brulées, and none for the rest of the wines in the range. The Clos was bottled in early September, while the villages, Chaumes, Suchots and Brulées were bottled in January 2014. The rest of the 2011s were bottled in March 2014.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair had the equipment to cool down the must in 2011 but still had shorter-than-normal cold soaks. But he did more post-fermentation maceration than usual as he found that the wines were gaining in elegance and energy. He began harvesting on September 2, with grape sugars between 12.3% and 12.8%, then chaptalized his wines up to a half-degree. I've frequently noted how classically dry these wines are. In fact, Liger-Belair told me that his 2011s finished their fermentations with no more than 0.2 grams per liter of residual sugar owing to the wild yeasts and to the fact that he doesn't use anti-botrytis sprays and therefore picks his fruit with lots of yeasts on the skins. The first six wines I tasted were already racked to tank. (A Becky Wasserman selection; importers include Wines Unlimited, www.winesunlimited.com and Veritas Imports, www.veritaswine.com)

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair's wines keep getting better. The improvement is less a reflection of the underlying vintages and more the result of the work the estate has done to convert their vineyards to biodynamic farming. These are some of the most unique and compelling wines being made anywhere in Burgundy. The house style emphasizes the weightless transparency, finesse and sweetness that only Pinot Noir (and perhaps Nebbiolo) is capable of. As good as the 2010s are, the 2009s have also turned out beautifully. I will report on those wines in my April artcle. Readers may also want to check out my video interview with Louis-Michel Liger-Belair posted on this site for more historical perspective on the domaine.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair harvested on the late side in 2010, starting on September 27. The wines have pHs in the 3.6 to 3.7 range but still convey the energy of the vintage. "The 2010s gained in weight during their summer in barrel, while remaining fresh," noted Liger-Belair, adding that the 2002s had earlier lost some of their freshness due to the hot summer of 2003, which raised cellar temperatures, in some cases dramatically. That was not a problem in 2011. The first three wines had been racked three weeks before my visit and were resting in tank.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair is one of the emerging superstars in Burgundy. Over the last decade or so he has gradually taken back vineyards that his family had previously leased. The collection of vineyards would make anyone's mouth water, although it is only a small portion of the holdings the family once owned. These are some of the most effortless, graceful Burgundies readers will find. The house style is all about elegance. The vineyards were converted to biodynamics starting in 2008. Work in the cellar is equally non-interventionalist. The 2009 harvest started on September 12. The fruit was 100% destemmed and all of the wines were aged in 100% new oak. Some of The 2009s were bottled by early February, while the rest of the wines were scheduled to be bottled in late March.

The phrase ‘once-in-a-lifetime,’ so often overused, has never been more apt. This tasting, held to celebrate Liger-Belair’s 200th anniversary, was the most comprehensive retrospective of La Romanée ever staged. When all was said and done, a group of thirteen tasters surveyed an eye-popping 74 different bottlings of the family’s crown jewel La Romanée going back to the 1865.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair toured his vineyards on September 10 and came to the conclusion that the fruit had not yet achieved full phenolic ripeness, so he ended up harvesting between the 12th and 16th. As was noted by a number of his colleagues, Liger-Belair told me that the very hot period between August 10 and 25 killed a lot of the malic acidity in the grapes and concentrated sugars, but in some instances stalled the maturation of the tannins. In fact, according to the numbers, he added, acidity levels in a number of the wines are even lower than those of 2003. He noted that the yeasts in 2009 ate more sugar than normal, so finished alcohols are a bit lower than they might have been. Liger-Belair was careful with extraction in 2009, relying mostly on infusion: "The high alcohol was easy to extract. I didn't want to do anything that might accentuate any green seed quality in the grapes." The malos began early but did not finish until March and April owing to the long, cold winter. The '09s had not yet been racked at the time of my visit. As of 2009, all of the domain's vineyards are farmed organically.

Although the malolactic fermentations of the 2008s were later than usual here, they still ended by mid-June, said Louis-Michel Liger-Belair. "Our cellars are not too cold because our house [the stately old Chateau de Vosne-Romanee] is directly above them," he explained. Liger-Belair carried out a pre-harvest to remove rotten and rose grapes, then picked fruit with grape sugars between 12% and 13.2% and had 30% less crop than normal. Liger-Belair compares his 2007s to a cross between 2001 and 2000 and says the 2008s have more precision and acidity. I found the first couple of samples a bit tart but at the cru level there are some stunning 2008s in the making.

"Another winegrower's vintage," said Louis-Michel Liger-Belair of the growing season of 2007. He harvested during the first four days of September and quantities were down 30% from usual, with grape sugars healthy but slightly lower than those of the previous year. "Ultimately we had good maturity and good acidity," Liger-Belair told me. The grapes were smaller than usual but the skins were not thick, and the fermentations were a bit warmer and shorter than normal. The wines were untastable during the first month but the malos were over by Christmas, he went on, adding that he kept the wines on their lees to nourish them. All of the village wines and a few of the premier crus had been racked ten days prior to my visit, and the samples I tasted of these cuvees had been taken from barrel before the racking. This estate's wines are nearly always sexy in barrel, as Liger-Belair does not use sulfur during the elevage, and volatile acidity levels are typically between 0.6 and 0.7, which is high enough to project their aromas.

Fans of this domain will be happy to learn that Louis-Michel Liger-Belair has seven new wines as of 2006, as he is now renting an estate from a former sharecropper. He now offers quite a range of Vosne-Romanee premier crus. Liger-Belair told me that he harvested in '06 with higher sugars than in 2005 and with similar levels of acidity. Since 2003, he has done very little pigeage (just two or three punchdowns in all), and normally one or two pumpovers per day. The 2005s here, bottled last January, have turned out very well.

"The archetype of the great vintage, even if it's too early to say it's great," said Louis-Michel Liger-Belair of 2005. "We had all the key elements, and at the right time: rain, sun, extended ripening. The wines have tasted great since the start." Liger-Belair told me that 2005 was a vintage of true fruit maturity, while in 2002 the concentration came more from sun and wind in September. Yields in 2005 ranged from 32 to 40 hectoliters per hectare. Nothing had been racked at the time of my visit but Liger-Belair noted that a racking was imminent. I was bowled over by the aromatic complexity and Oriental spice character of the estate's young '05s.

I tasted these wines under less than optimal conditions, as Louis-Michel Liger-Belair had pulled samples of the '04s for me several days before my visit, just before he racked his barrels. (These wines are almost certainly more crystalline and bright than my notes suggest. )The wines were slated to remain in vat for about three months before being bottled. Liger-Belair told me he harvested on September 23 and 24, in two days flat "as all the vineyards matured at the same time. "He does a week-long cold soak, then ferments using little in the way of pigeage but two remontages per day. "I infuse more than I extract," he explained. Following a couple days of post-fermentation maceration, he presses with an old Vaselin press, then leaves the wine in vat for a week before filling the barrels by gravity. Liger-Belair ages his wines in oak for 12 to 14 months without SO2, using the carbonic gas for protection. Two thousand four was "a wine grower's vintage," he said.

I tasted these wines under less than optimal conditions, as Louis-Michel Liger-Belair had pulled samples of the '04s for me several days before my visit, just before he racked his barrels. (These wines are almost certainly more crystalline and bright than my notes suggest. )The wines were slated to remain in vat for about three months before being bottled. Liger-Belair told me he harvested on September 23 and 24, in two days flat "as all the vineyards matured at the same time. "He does a week-long cold soak, then ferments using little in the way of pigeage but two remontages per day. "I infuse more than I extract," he explained. Following a couple days of post-fermentation maceration, he presses with an old Vaselin press, then leaves the wine in vat for a week before filling the barrels by gravity. Liger-Belair ages his wines in oak for 12 to 14 months without SO2, using the carbonic gas for protection. Two thousand four was "a wine grower's vintage," he said.

The phrase ‘once-in-a-lifetime,’ so often overused, has never been more apt. This tasting, held to celebrate Liger-Belair’s 200th anniversary, was the most comprehensive retrospective of La Romanée ever staged. When all was said and done, a group of thirteen tasters surveyed an eye-popping 74 different bottlings of the family’s crown jewel La Romanée going back to the 1865.
