Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, NSG Clos des Grandes Vignes 2014

By

The Nuits Saint Georges Clos des Grandes Vignes has taken a further step forward quality wise in the 2014 vintage – adding more focus and definition to the wine. In the bouquet – slight reduction – otherwise quite forward offering fresh red and dark berry fruit spiced by a nice earthy minerality. On the palate lovely juicy fruit – transparent and energetic with a delightful delicacy and definition. Impressed by the purity and the micro complexity and delighted by the energy and verve.

I have covered many of the Premeaux monopoles, but ...
