Finding Grace in Challenge: The 1995 Vintage

The growing season of 1995 in Burgundy was a narrative of challenge, countered elegantly by meticulous vineyard management and adept winemaking. A relatively cool year with bouts of unanticipated warmth punctuated by timely rainfall, it put to test the adaptability of the vines and vigilance of vignerons. However, it was such fluctuations that distilled a sense of spirited complexity into the grapes—the kind that beckons upon investment minds who appreciate wines with stories to tell.

 

A Sensorial Ode to Terroir

This particular 1995 Vosne Romanee les Suchots from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair convenes an ensemble of sensory elements that are as beguiling as they are harmonious. The nose is greeted with an aristocratic bouquet, where black cherry, ripe strawberries and a wispy trace of violets ascend. This evolves onto a palate graced with delicate tannins—a rarity for a vintage which coaxed such muscular framework from many a neighbouring plot. With years in the cellar, this '95 has unfurled its peacock's tail—displaying secondary notes of sous bois, truffle and finely-ground spices that are quintessential to mature Burgundian Pinot Noir.

To partake in this wine is to experience a stoic resilience transformed into liquid poetry, encapsulating both the character of its vintage and the perennial virtues held within the Vosne-Romanée pedigree.
