Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Echezeaux 2009

The Echezeaux 2009 from Domine du Comte Liger-Belair is a magnificent wine, and even better than first expected. In the bouquet still quite young and tight, but starting to show some red fruit notes – raspberries, red forrest berries and cassis. On the palate quite accessible with multible layers of rich pinot fruit. The oak is already quite well integrated and offering good support to the abundant fruit. It’s very seductive and rich – but also focused with a quite firm backbone of minerality. A outstanding Echezeaux in the making.
