Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Echezeaux 2010

By

The Echezeaux 2010 from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is a delightful wine – and is starting to unfold on 0.375 bottles. The nose is expressive with layers of organic fruit and spices – lovely transparency with a nice display of mineral notes. On the palate rich and organic with layers of fruit – intense and long. Interesting to taste this low yield vintage after the 2016 from cask.
