Detailed Description

Formed in 2000, Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is a relatively new estate, producing organic and biodynamic wines from Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Flagey-Echezeaux and Vougeot. This cuvée comes from Les Suchots, the largest premier cru in Vosne-Romanée, where the domaine owns a 0.22-hectare plot of old vines. The 2007 vintage is an elegant and harmonious wine, showing a silky, ripe fruit palate.

Reviews:

• Burghound: This is very Vosne in character with a beautifully spicy and exotic nose of ripe and layered black pinot fruit trimmed in a bit of oak that is very much in keeping with the round, generous and very rich full-bodied flavors that possess more impressive volume than complexity before culminating in a delicious and solidly persistent finish that possesses a velvety texture.

Producer Information

Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, founded in 2000, is a relatively new wine producer in Burgundy, although the Liger-Belair family have owned vineyards in Vosne-Romanée since 1815. The domaine makes a range of grand and premier cru wines from vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanée, with the tiny monopole of La Romanée providing Comte Liger-Belair’s flagship wine.Louis Liger-Belair, a former general in Napoleon’s army, acquired a vineyard holdings during the state sell-off of estates confiscated under the French Revolution – including the impressive Château de Vosne-Romanée. The Liger-Belairs held a good portion of land in the southern Côte de Nuits in the 19th Century, owning La Romanée and La Tâche as well as large portions of Clos de Vougeot and Chambertin, and a handful of premier cru vineyards.Much of the land was sold off in 1933 under Burgundy’s complicated Napoleonic inheritance laws. What was left was farmed out to local vignerons and the wares sold to negociants.
