The ending of the Festival Musique et Vin Au Clos Vougeot with the Gala dinner when all the great Domaines and music lovers come together to support the young musician talents, something we have passionately supported for the last 14 years. Honored to partner with our dear friend Louis-Michel Liger Belair on an auction item of our 2015 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon in magnum and his 2015 Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru “Aux Brûlées” in magnum. You can see the bidding action in the post. Such a wonderful evening of great wines and friends! @musiqueetvin_closvougeot @comte_liger_belair_official @sodhanivineyards @constance_ligerbelair @louismichelligerbelair #musiqueetvin #musique #classicalmusic #finewines #ligerbelair #domaindelaromaneeconti #delamottechampagne #domainechanson #domainedescomteslafon #chateaudemeursault #domainearlaud #burgundywine #wine #winelover #winetasting #vintner #napavalleyvintners #burgundy #charity

Another Burgundy night except for one Napa Cabernet that made an appearance! When it is our soon to be released 2019 rated 97+ by WA we didn’t want to leave it behind. Some incredible old Burgundy vintages and the La Tache 88 we brought was singing after an hour in the bottle. Such a fun night! But before dinner there was a concert at Halle de Beaune and it started to pour inside the hall!! Wasn’t sure we would hear beautiful music from @gautiercapucon. You can see the rain in the last video. But the concert went on rain or shine!#winetasting #burgundywine #burgundy #bourgogne #grandcru #domaindelaromaneeconti #premiercru #wine #winelifestyle #winelover #wineaddict #luxury #sodhanivineyards

A visit to see Louis-Michel is always a treat because his wines are so amazing!! He generously shared the 2019 vintage and we did not waste a drop. Tasted 2019 Vosne Romanee, Aux Cras, Les Chaumes, Les Suchots, Les Petits Monts, Aux Reignots, Clos de Vougeot, Echezeaux and La Romanee. Overall, Louis-Michel’s 2019 are perfectly balanced, highly structured, concentrated yet elegant, showing finesse and long finish that lingers. With this uniquely indulgent mouthfeel that only LM’s wines deliver, that envelops your mouth to blurt out WOW! Excellent acid levels in spite of the hot vintage. All wines were very approachable at this early stage although patience will be rewarded with the 1er Crus and Grand Crus with plenty of freshness and acid. Comte Liger-Belair 2019’s are beautiful! Thank you Louis-Michel for the wonderful tasting. @comte_liger_belair_official #ligerbelair @louismichelligerbelair #premiercru #grandcru #finewine #wine #winelover #winetasting #winemaker #winelife #burgundywine #bourgogne #burgundy

Have we gone to heaven!!?? A 2014 Bartard-Montrachet!! You can never buy this wine on the market because it is only shared by Aubert at dinners or in the DRC caves. I took a video clip of Aubert explaining how special this wine is. It was so incredibly delicious full of richness, minerality, lots of hazelnut and honey. So blessed to enjoy this wine. We also enjoyed a lovely 2004 Richebourg and 2007 La Tache which we have had on a number of occasions but drinking it with Aubert just added to the memories of that vintage. And the food went perfectly with all the wines!#domaindelaromaneeconti #drc #bartardmontrachet #aubertdevillaine #grandcru #finewines #latache #richebourg #winetasting #frenchwine #winelover #wine #wineporn #winemaker #winetime #winelife #mywinemoment #frenchwine #burgundywine #burgundy #bourgogne #romaneeconti

One of the events of the Musique et Vin Festival is listening to beautiful classical music in the Abbaye de Saint-Vivant and then having a picnic outside but due to the rain we enjoyed our meal in the Abbaye which was unique! Once again the music and grand cru wines were flowing!! #musiqueetvin #classicalmusic #burgundywine #wine #finewine #winelifestyle #winecountry #burgundy #picnicparty

Through the years we have made some wonderful friends and memories in Burgundy and Constance and Alberic Bichot hold a very special place in our hearts. They are so generous with their community and have a joie de vivre. Alberic makes us laugh all the time…I am sure he was a comedian in a previous life. Thank you for inviting us into your lovely home for a delicious home cooked meal and sharing your exquisite grand cru wines with us. I think Eloise is going to take over the Domaines one day! Look how she holds the wine bottle when pouring a white Burgundy! @albericbichot1831 @bichotconstance @albert_bichot #grandcru #finewine #friendsandwine #winelover #vintner #winelifestyle #burgundywine #burgundy

Are you ready for a DRC tasting with Aubert? He generously shared the 2017 vintage of five treasures which are now showing their approachability but still very young. La tache was my favorite with an abundance of elegance. All the wines had balance and spiciness on my palate. Doesn’t get any better than this in Burgundy, or does it!! Just need a Bartard-Montrachet…soon to come! #domaindelaromaneeconti #aubertdevillaine #grandcru #finewines #romaneeconti #latache #richebourg #grandsechezeaux #romaneestvivant #2017vintage #winetasting #frenchwine #winelover #winemaker #winetime #winelife #mywinemoment #burgundywine #burgundy

Every visit to DRC always feels like our first time. The excitement, the eagerness as well as knowing how privileged we are to step inside the heavenly caves of DRC. I can remember every detail of our visits over the years from flirting with winemaker Bernard Noblet in hopes he will sneak out rare vintages for tastings to the warm, loving greeting from Aubert de Villaine whom I have had a crush on since the first day he kissed my hand. Everyone knows their wines are the holy grail and I thank my husband for introducing me to the incredible juice but it is the people behind the wines who have touched my soul. With Aubert’s retirement this may be the last time he guides us through the cellar doors but sharing of wine and music with him will go on. Wow…got a little emotional there as my husband would say…so you want to know about the 2021 vintage?

From the barrel, Romanee Saint-Vivant and La Tache are the standouts in 2021 with La Romanee Conti hiding its full potential as usual. Echezeaux was in midst of malo (late) so hard to tell but Grand Echezeaux was showing extremely well. Richebourg was a little too muscular. 2021 was a cold vintage where long patience will be rewarded. Yields were down over 50% due to frost so you know allocations will be slim.

Thank you our dearest friend Aubert for adding another DRC memory. Enjoy every minute of your retirement! @_domainedelaromaneeconti #domaindelaromaneeconti #drc #barreltasting #latache #romaneesaintvivant #echezeaux #grandechezeaux #richebourg #laromaneeconti #corton #montrachet #winetasting #grandcru #finewine #wine #winemaker #winelover #wineporn #winelife #luxury #burgundy #burgundywine #france

A trip to Burgundy would not be complete without visiting our friends @dianasnowsey and @drinkdujac to see their almost completed new winery. Congratulations on your new facilities! Very excited for you and for the wines to be created in such a beautiful new home! Wonderful to see you again!! #domainedujac #grandcru #finewine #winery #vineyard #vintner #winemaker #burgundywine #frenchwine #burgundy #france

Lalou Bize-Leroy the superstar of Burgundy! She is a living legend and still actively involved in creating the most sought after wines. There is such a sparkle in her eyes when she speaks about her terroir and domaine. It was such an honor to meet her and tell her in person how much we have enjoyed her wines through the years. #domaineleroy #grandcru #finewine #winelover #burgundywine #terrior #vineyard #burgundy
