Burgundy | 1 | 92 (VN) |
Inc. GST
SG$1,302.44 |
|||||
Vinous (92)Good bright, full red. Blueberry, smoked meat and sexy oak on the nose. Suave and fine-grained in the mouth, with very deep flavors of blueberry, blackberry and minerals. A step up in extract and depth from the preceding wines-not to mention sheer intensity of flavor. Really builds on the back half, finishing classically dry, broad and minerally, with dusty tannins nicely covered by fruit. |

Vinous (93+)Full red-ruby. Sexy aromas of blackberry, blueberry, licorice, minerals and violet. Wonderfully precise and vibrant, with terrific cut to its intense flavors of dark berries and violet. But this infant is still youthfully tight and bound-up. A bit rounder on the back end, finishing with excellent grip and length and a lingering hint of licorice. |

Vinous (93+)Very closed nose hints at wet stone. Rich and ripe in the mouth, with palate-saturating flavors of crushed stone and orange. As lush and sweet as this is, it avoids crossing over to exotic. Very deep and very young: should age very well for a 2006. |

Jancis Robinson (18.5)Firm, deep crimson, one of the bluest. Very fine. No bluster, just fruit and structure. Not flattering but very admirably true. Finishes very dry. Liquorice. Long. Real peacock’s tail. Really lovely. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (97)Whilst I maintain that Louis-Michel was finding his feet in his first decade at the helm of Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, the 2006 La Romanée Grand Cru is perhaps his greatest success from his early period and augurs what followed. This is consistent with previous bottles: heavenly scent purity on the nose that seems to embrace and “cuddle” the olfactory senses, with layers of red and blue fruit, violet and peony. Stunning delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a sumptuous texture and immense depth yet with elegance and poise. The satin mouthfeel is irresistible. |

SG$33,968.54 |

Vinous (89-91)(from low-yielding old vines) Good deep red. Captivating nose offers cassis, minerals, leather and smoke; at once sappy and liqueur-like. Concentrated, dense and supple, with very expressive flavors of blackberry, flowers, minerals and bitter chocolate, along with a whiff of fresh blood. Shows the solidity of Nuits but the aromatic character of Vosne. Finishes with firm tannins and very good energy. The crop level here was just 27 hectoliters per hectare, said Liger-Belair, who added that most of his 2006s were between 31 and 38. |

Vinous (93)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. |

SG$14,872.94 |

Vinous (88-90)Pale yellow. Pure aromas of apricot, peach, hazelnut and butter; like an essence of Meursault. Supple, fat and easygoing, with sweet stone fruit and hazelnut flavors carrying through to a long, satisfying finish. Perhaps less refined and nuanced than the Boutonniers but this may be as long. |

Vinous (87-89)Good full red. Red cherry aroma. Juicy but on the lean side, with a cool minty quality and less volume and texture than the Taillepieds. Less serious than the Taillepieds but this offers enticing, subtly sweet fruit. With its less serious structure, this should also offer early appeal. |

Wine Advocate (90)From 60-80 year old vines in En Champ, Combe du Dessus (by his cuverie) and several smaller estate parcels north of the village, Mortet's 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes received 75% new wood, but the evidence has been buried. Scents of rose hip, dark cherry, and indefinite floral perfumes lead into a silken, subtly saline and savory palate that strikes a thought-provoking as well as sensually satisfying balance between elements carnal, mineral, and fruity. This displays the lift and refinement that render so many 2006s charming, and while it will probably hold up well to 5-7 years of bottle age, I can see no reason for long-deferring the pleasure of its company. |

Wine Advocate (94)Drunk in Burgundy from a French source, this bottle of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's 2006 Échézeaux Grand Cru was showing extremely well, opening in the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries, spices and rose petals, framed by a deft patina of high-quality new oak. Full-bodied, voluptuous and layered, it's rich and muscular, with lively acids and plenty of powdery tannin. To my taste, this is still a decade away from maturity, though it is immensely pleasurable to drink now. |

Vintage Tastings (93)The nose on the 2006 DRC Grands Echezeaux continued the progression nicely with an even deeper personality. It was more coiled and wound, with more structure showing, along with lots of cedar and spice. It had bigger and exotic tendencies, almost peach or mango but not quite either, maybe apricot? It was flirting in those directions, and also had big-time rose and oil there. It was rusty in its vigor, but not much bigger than the Echezeaux as I expected. It was upfront but lacked the open quality of the Ech, but made up for it with its structure. That rubber tire emerged on its gritty finish with lots of earth, beef and cedar flavors. Overall, it had a much blacker style than the Ech and although not as delicious and sexy as the Ech, it had better long-term potential. |

2006 was a marvellous year for white Burgundy. The wines excellent structure and more forward aromas than the 2005’s. They can be enjoyed young or considerable aged with is often the mark of a great wine. 2006 red Burgundy’s development has impressed and surprised. This was a vintage which allowed winemakers to really make their stylistic impressions on the wine. An interesting year for Burgundy enthusiasts.
