Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne Clos du Chateau 2012

The Clos du Chateau 2012 is step up in quality from Colombiere – adding even more minerality and Vosne spicyness. The bouquet is somewhat reduced but still offering a juicy fruit, crisp minerality and loads of Vosne spices. On the palate excellent weight for this level – the fruit is deep and complex supported by the stony minerality from this lovely village terroir. It offers a lovely nerve and transparancy – a truly fine village from Liger-Belair. Will it rival the great 2010 – perhaps not – but could be a close race.

(Drink from 2025) – Fine (90 – 92p) – Tasted 19/03/2013 – from CASK
