Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Echézeaux Grand Cru 2022

Red
Flagey Echezeaux, France
8.0

Rich dark fruit and warm spice dominate the aromatics, showing impressive concentration but lacking the mineral precision expected from this grand cru site. The palate delivers better balance with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, revealing glimpses of Echézeaux's signature elegance beneath the fruit-forward expression. Needs several years for the components to integrate and the terroir to emerge.

Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair resurrected one of Vosne-Romanée's most storied domaines in the early 2000s, reclaiming family vineyards from négociant leases to produce some of the Côte de Nuits' most sought-after Pinot Noir.
