Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne Colombiere 2012

The Colombiere 2012 is quite a step up from the very good generic village – as it offers a more focused and refined expression of terroir. The nose is slightly reduced, but is still showing a lovely juicy red berry fruit – and it’s popping with Vosne spicyness – violets, peony rose – combined with a crisp minerality. The palate is showing juicy vibrant fruit with the support of the lovely minerality from the Colombiere terroir – it’s quite weighty for this level – but still maintain a lovely mineralic tension and nerve. A beautiful Colombiere in the making.

(Drink from 2024) – Very Good+ (88 – 90p) – Tasted 19/03/2013 – from CASK
