Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Nuits-St-Georges Aux Cras 2006

The 2006 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Cras from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is a real beauty – and the first vintage from this fine terroir. The bouquet is bursting with lovely red berry fruit and minerality – very sophisticated and quite expressive. On the palate very fine midpalate concentration with vibrant fruit and minerality. It’s long with a robust yet delicate minerality in the finish. The energetic fruit is build for pleasure – but nevertheless it’s a 2006 – so perhaps lacking the ultimate focus and transparancy found in the best vintages of this fine wine. Bottom line – this is a beautiful wine from a equally wonderful and refined vineyard. Love this terroir.

We now have March 3rd, and both DRC, Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, and not surprisingly Domaine Leroy still have the top vineyards left unpruned. The tendency is later pruning, which is confirmed by ...
