Tasting notes
Medium red. Fresh nose offers red cherry, orange peel and piquant spices, plus a minty lift. Sweet and juicy, with a slightly high-toned floral/spicy character and moderate depth. Slightly edgy today and still a bit youthfully tight, with fruit in the background. This has not recovered as rapidly from the January '06 bottling as the Clos du Chateau, notes Liger-Belair.

(the yield here was a full 42 hectoliters per hectare, the highest production of any of his vineyards, according to Liger-Belair, due to the water-retentive clay soil beneath these 60-to-80-year-old vines) Aromas of black raspberry and black cherry. Supple, generous and rather easygoing, with moderate sweetness and concentration. Not bad but lacks real complexity and grip.
About the producer
Since its rebirth in 2000, Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair has quickly become one of the most highly sought-after producers in Vosne-Romanée. The most prized wine from the estate is their monopole Grand Cru La Romanée.
