Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, La Romanee 2010

By

The 2010s seems to continue to show well – and are still quite open. This is certainly the case with the La Romanée 2010 from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. It’s still floral, expressive and very effortless in it’s presentation of refined layers f fruit and filigree minerality. It’s a intense wine – but is showing it’s greatness with such ease and zen like balance. The bouquet is brimming with minerality and Vosne spices – the fruit is expressive and organic – notes of violets and cinnamon integrated with red and dark berries. On the palate rich, with layers of juicy fruit .. vivid and tremendously refined. Really showing well – such a effortless delight.

  • Visit Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair – 2017s from cask First taste of the 2017s from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair … a rather fresh and vivid vintage. After 2015 and 2016 – intense and dense vintages we find the 2017 a lighter and perhaps more lively and vivacious vintage. I do find many wines from Vosne-Romanee very well balanced in the 2017 vintage – and while it’s ...

No doubt Louis-Michel Liger-Belair have done very well ...
