Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Liger-Belair's 2014 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos des Grandes Vignes Rouge was more modern in style than the 2014 Clos de l’Arlot tasted immediately before this, marked more by the barrel with candied red fruit and orange blossom scents emerging with time. The palate is well balanced, soft and rounded, almost Vosne-Romanée-like in style with a plush and caressing, slightly meaty finish. Probably a wine that can be enjoyed in the flush of youth and with bottle age. Tasted September 2017.

Dark red-ruby. Musky, very ripe, soil-driven scents of black raspberry, black cherry and menthol. Silky and fine-grained yet backward today owing to its medicinal reserve. This wine is hiding its sweetness in the early going but it displays lovely phenolic ripeness, not to mention good energy. I'd give it at least three or four years in the cellar.
Good deep ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of black cherry and dark chocolate. Sweet, plush and concentrated; large-scaled, mouthfilling and broad but with no rough edges. Terrific dark fruit intensity here, complemented by saline, smoky minerality. As full and suave as this wine is, it's not yet filled in.
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.
