The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru is showing some reduction on the nose, slightly smudged red fruit, leather and undergrowth. It does seem to gain clarity with modest aeration though. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, taut and crisp, quite linear with fine sapidity on the structure, backward finish. A Premier Cru with a long future ahead. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.HK$5,995.00 -

(from a large 1.76 ha parcel). Here too there is enough wood to notice but not to intrude on the exceptionally spicy and overtly floral-suffused nose of dark currant and plum. There is outstanding intensity, muscle and power to the broad-shouldered flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract on the sappy, mouth coating, robust and youthfully austere finish that goes on and on. This is excellent and worth checking out. (92-94)/2037+HK$7,230.00 -

Pure beautiful purple, with the nose of exceptional hedonistic class associated with this vineyard. One can detect the remains of a little reduction in the mouth, which holds it back a fraction at this stage, but this is still a really good wine underneath and will be thoroughly exciting. It has the Malconsorts magic. Drink from 2026-2032.HK$2,050.00 -

A fine deep purple, with brilliance. The bouquet has the energy which we expect with that extra note of headiness. The Malconsorts opens out gorgeously and is kept fresh by a good thread of acidity. Pure, long, fine, lifted, medium plus bodied but there is a little bit of majesty here nonetheless. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023.HK$10,920.00 -

The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru was picked on September 9 with 25% whole cluster and 35% new oak. It offers pretty cranberry and wild strawberry scents on the nose, well-defined, if not quite as complex as its peers. The palate is well balanced with crisp, slightly crunchy red berry fruit on the entry. There is something "playful" about this Les Malconsorts. It doesn't take itself too seriously, yet there is ample tension and considerable mineralité on the finish. Not to be underestimated.HK$11,555.00 -
Burghound (89-91)
Much more subtle wood sets off overtly spicy aromas of cassis, black cherry and violet scents. The wonderfully seductive flavors possess a velvety and caressing texture while delivering sneaky good length on the firm but balanced structure. This is inviting but serious and it should repay up to a decade of cellaring. Worth checking out.HK$1,365.00 -

Burghound (88-91)
A pretty, fresh and layered nose reflects notes of red currant, lavender, violet and subtle spice notes. There is a really lovely and highly seductive texture to the satiny flavors that culminate in a firm and mildly robust but not really rustic finish. This is worth checking out.HK$760.00 -
(1x75cl) 2019Burghound (89-92)
(the blend is mostly from Damaudes with a small proportion of Basses Maizières). A fresh, cool and restrained nose combines notes of cherry, plum and a whiff of spiced tea. I very much like the texture of the nicely detailed and quite powerful medium weight flavors that terminate in a youthfully austere, and sneaky long finish that displays fine complexity. This is an impressive Vosne villages and worth your interest. (89-92)/2029+HK$815.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)
A blend of Damodes du bas and Basses Maizières, picked on 3rd and 7th September. Attractive mid purple. Some nobility to the nose but in a discreet way. This is happily balanced with excellent class, heady Vosne fruit, even some spice, then a firmer tannin, but this works really well. Damodes gives the lift, Maizières the body. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted: October 2023.HK$4,055.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)
5 Star Wine. A blend of Les Damaudes and Basses Maizières, elegance from the former and weight from the latter. An attractive fresh ruby. The bouquet is absolutely Vosne Romanée in its classy petits fruits rouges. Then there is more concentration on the palate, as the Maizières component kicks in. The whole blends well together to a very classy finish. All the structural elements are in place while the raspberry fruit gains in intensity towards the back. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$4,140.00 -

Good deep red-ruby. Sappy plum and redcurrant aromas complicated by tobacco and minerals. A step up in sweetness, concentration and floral lift from the Chaumes, this one boasts palate-staining redcurrant, leather and mineral flavors and a powerful impression of extract, not to mention a compelling sappiness for the vintage. Finishes dry and classic, with superb punch. These vines always produce very small bunches, notes Liger-Belair. A decade of aging may bring an even higher score.HK$428,280.00 -

Decanter (96)
Youthful and plump, with mulberry and black cherry aromas accented with earth, liquorice and floral notes. The texture shows the vintage's ripe, supple character, yet a tannic grip and lively acidity reflect the terroir’s location in thin soils on the slope above La Romanée. This wine is drinking well now, but can easily last another 20 years or more in a proper cellar.HK$309,570.00 -

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 1er Cru has another rather reduced bouquet, but there is plenty of red fruit here, touches of blood orange and hints of violet and after 20 minutes there is a palpable sense of exuberance. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite fleshy with fine grip and backbone. Fresh and delineated on the finish, this is a lovely Vosne-Romanée that should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.HK$22,105.00 -
(1x75cl) 2005Vinous (92+)
Good deep red. Ripe, complex, slightly reduced aromas of plum, currant, cherry and smoke. Silky and vibrant, with lovely lift to the flavors of red fruits and dried rose. Finishes very long and bright, but distinctly firmer than the preceding village wines. This seems to be shutting down in bottle today.HK$19,990.00 -
(1x75cl) 2017Vinous (90-92)
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru contains around 20% whole bunches. It has a well defined bouquet of vivid red fruit infused with crushed stone, a little blood orange developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, silky-smooth, almost satiny. A gentle landing on the finish suggests that this may drink early but will also age in bottle. It is a fine Les Chaumes, but not from Liger-Belair's top drawer this vintage.HK$15,460.00 -
Wine Advocate (93+)
The 2009 Vosne-Romanee Les Petits Monts comes across as rich, deep and very powerful. It boasts tons of energy and sheer texture. Sweet notes of tobacco, licorice, menthol and crushed flowers come together in the glass. Ultimately structure prevails in defining the wine’s personality. This is going to be a fun wine to taste in a few years, once the tannins have softened a bit. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029.HK$128,155.00 -
Vinous (92-95)
Bright, deep red-ruby color. Exotic aromas of Oriental spices, chocolate and blood orange. Wonderfully creamy and harmonious in the mouth, with compelling sweetness to its dark berry, spice and blood orange flavors. Harmonious ripe acidity and obvious minerality contribute to an impression of drive and energy. Very long and suavely tannic on the back end. From 60-year-old-vines and it shows.HK$237,255.00 -

Latest malo so you can still taste the wood on the finish. Rich and with lots of fine red fruits. Just a bit tough on the end.HK$177,695.00 -

Served by Louis-Michel Liger-Belair from double magnum, the 2006 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru sports a gorgeous, black cherry, sous-bois and white pepper bouquet that still feels youthful (perhaps because of the large format and provenance.) The palate is structured with fine grip, overflowing with vim and vigour. The tannins mellow towards the finish but there remains tremendous weight and sumptuousness here. Excellent. Tasted at La Paulée in Beaune.HK$15,450.00 -

The 2015 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a voluminous, intense, slightly feral bouquet featuring layers of red berry fruit and possibly just a touch of brettanomyces (which for me does not detract from the overall aromatic profile). The well-focused, medium-bodied palate offers supple tannin, a crisp line of acidity and sappy blueberry and wild strawberry scents toward the sleek, silky-smooth finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.HK$24,665.00 -
(3x150cl) 2010Burghound (89-91)
(Outstanding) A fresh, elegant and admirably pure nose of red and blue pinot fruit trimmed in spice and violets leads to cool and equally pure middle weight flavors that possess a velvety mouth feel before terminating in a precise and persistent finish. This is a really lovely villages and worth a look.HK$66,320.00 -

A gorgeous, village wine, the 2012 Vosne-Romanée is layered and impeccable. Dark red cherries, wild flowers, crushed rocks and mint all jump from the glass. The 2012 boasts gorgeous richness and depth, but there is more than enough minerality and acidity to give the wine a backbone of structure and pure vibrancy.HK$62,745.00 -
(6x75cl) 2013Vinous (90-92)
The 2013 Vosne-Romanée is a real overachiever at this level. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, orange peel and mint open up in a surprisingly pliant, expressive wine for the year. The balance of fruit intensity and energy is compelling. The Liger-Belair wines are all made in tiny amounts and competition for them is fierce. If there is one of the less expensive wines to look for in 2013, it is the 2013 Vosne-Romanée villages. The Vosne is a blend of fruit from eleven parcels.HK$64,695.00 -
(6x75cl) 2014Wine Advocate (88-90)
The 2014 Vosne-Romanée Villages has impressive volume on the nose with wild strawberry and a slight confit note that is nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, elegant and pure, and there is a fine line of acidity with quite a dense finish. This is very fine.HK$57,955.00 -
Vinous (90)
Medium red, a bit pale for 2005. Wild, exotic aromas of plum, smoked meat, truffle and damp earth. Very sexy, broad and classically dry, with lovely depth and richness. Still youthfully restrained, but solid minerality gives this soil-inflected wine a freshness. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and excellent length.HK$214,200.00 -
(1x75cl) 2010Vinous (91-93)
The 2010 Vosne-Romanée Clos du Château comes across as linear, intense and a touch closed in on itself. There is more depth and roundness in the mid-palate than the Colombière, with plenty of underlying energy to support years of highly enjoyable drinking.HK$13,580.00 -
(6x75cl) 2017Vinous (89-91)
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Clos du Château offers vivacious red cherry and strawberry on the transparent nose – real Pinoté here. The fresh, lively palate is well balanced with candied red fruit on the entry and a fine bead of acidity. The pixelated finish is not powerful but has a playfulness that I admire.HK$90,105.00 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Clos du Château feels a little smudged by comparison to the La Colombière, offering scents of dark berry fruit plus wilted iris flowers and incense. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, plenty of rich blueberry and black fruit and fine salinity toward the finish. This exhibits excellent length but it will require 2–4 years in bottle.HK$60,515.00
In a region with some of the world’s most expensive and sought after Pinot Noir, the appellation of Vosne-Romanee is at the very top of this list, consistently outshining even its most impressive neighbours. Much has been waxed poetic about these wines, which are praised for their intensity, power, finesse, richness, and overall elegance. There are eight Grand Cru vineyards here including Richebourg, Romanee-Saint-Vivant, Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux, as well as the monopoles La Grande Rue (Domaine Lamarche), La Romanee (Comte Liger-Belair), and Romanee-Conti and La Tache (both monopoles of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti.)
