Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Nuits-St-Georges Clos des Grandes Vignes 2013

The Nuits Saint Georges Clos des Grandes Vignes has taken a big step forward quality wise in the 2013 vintage – the style is now fully aligned with the rest of the Liger-Belair wines. The bouquet is quite forward offering rich dark berry fruit spiced by a nice earthy minerality and a touch of oak. On the palate lovely rich fruit – quite transparent and weighty with a delightful Vosne reference chez Louis-Michel. I really like the energy and drinkability of this wine … and it’s now well integrated in the lineup. That being said it needs some improvement to reach the level and focus of the magnificent Aux Cras … but with the initiatives planned it will be exiting to follow over the next vintages.
