Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne Les Suchots 2011

By Steen Öhman June 22, 2012 -

Les Suchots is not my favorit wine from Liger-Belair - but the 2011 version is quite charming. In the bouquet a quite delicate collection of red and darker berries, with the oak slightly more present. On the palate good focus, a deep fruit and a fine balance. The 15% whole clusters have shaped the …
