Vosne Reignots, Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair 2010

A wonderfully seductive and extravagantly perfumed nose of spice and black fruit liqueur adds considerable interest to the intensely mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess a highly sensuous mouth feel, all wrapped in a transparent, tension-filled and impeccably well-balanced finish that delivers truly superb length. This is an exceptionally classy and refined effort and if you can find it, buy it. Drink: 2022+.

Note: the Liger-Belair vines in this small vineyard run from top to bottom whereas the others are situated in segments; Cathiard is on top, Grivot in the middle and Arnoux at the bottom
