Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Nuit-Saint-Georges Les Cras 2014

Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Cras is a slightly overlooked terroir … but in my view one of the very best terroirs in the appellation. This terroir renders a mineralic drive and energy to the wine … adding a lot of complexity and nerve making it one of the most complete terroirs in NSG.

The bouquet in the 2014 edition is offering a beautiful red and dark berry fruit brought forward by a lovely vivid slightly salty minerality. On the palate juicy and very delicate fruit … layered with a lovely verve and energy. Lovely core of red fruit .. quite weighty and with fine length .. love this terroir.

(Drink from 2026) – Very Fine – (92 – 93p) – Tasted 16/11/2015 – from CASK
