RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

It's concentrated and dark, with black plums enveloping full and ripe fruit.

93.4CellarTracker

91+ The Wine Advocate

...has ripe red berries mixed with freshly tilled soil and woodland aromas...palate is medium-bodied with a touch of rawness and hardness on the entry that just upsets the balance compared to other vintages.

91Vinous / IWC

...offering ample, glossy red fruit: Bing cherries, red currant jam and raspberry preserve...palate follows in similar fashion, with succulent tannins and a fine bead of acidity...

17Jancis Robinson

Reasonably subtle nose though with some oak in evidence. Good weight and breadth in the mouth... Very fine tannins on the finish.

PRODUCER

Comte Liger-Belair

Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is a 23-acre estate in Vosne-Romanee. It was created in 2000 by Louis-Michel Liger-Belair from vineyards that have been in the Liger-Belair family, in one way or another, since the early 19th century. The original Louis Liger-Belair was a general in Napoleon’s army who purchased the chateau in 1815 and in the early 20th century wines were made under the name of Comte Liger-Belair. However in the middle of the 20th century parts of the estate were lost or sold for various reasons. Today Louis-Michel has re-established the Comte Liger-Belair label and he has vineyards in 12 appellations. There are Grand Cru parcels in La Romanee and Echezeaux, and Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanee and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Clive Coates has written that “from the start, Louis-Michel has shown himself to be a sensible and astute winemaker: a man of real talent. These are elegant, finely tuned and very pure wines.”

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits Villages, Flagey-Echezeaux, Echezeaux

Echezeaux is a 93-acre Grand Cru vineyard on the southern edge of the Cote de Nuits. It up the slope from Clos de Vougeot and Grands Echezeaux and is one of the largest grand crus in Burgundy. The vineyard varies in elevation from 250 to 300 meters, and the terroir includes significant clay as well as thin, rocky soil. The largest proprietors are Domaine de la Romanee Conti, with 11.68 acres; Mongeard-Mugneret with 6.25 acres, and Emmanuel-Rouget, with 3.58 acres. Echezeaux produces red wine.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.

Light label condition issue

RATINGS

97The Wine Advocate

The palate is medium-bodied with silky, filigree tannins. This is a very feminine La Romanee that places precision over power, lending it a haunting, weightlessness that seems contrary to the length and fruite.

93-96Stephen Tanzer

Highly nuanced, deep nose offers scents of sappy raspberry, smoky minerality, savory soil and sexy oak. Large-scaled and sweet on the attack...Most impressive...on the very long, subtly spicy back end...already quite suave and harmonious.

93-96Burghound.com

...powerful medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by exceptionally fine tannins that are perfectly well-integrated on the energetic and explosive finish. The sense of underlying tension and Zen-like poise are seriously impressive...

17+ Jancis Robinson

Very heady nose with immediate impact of layers on the nose though pretty uptight at the moment. Masses of tension and angst...Ambitious with a blackberry concentrate note. Still quite marked acidity though lots of fresh fruit too.

It is a monopoly wholly owned by the Liger-Belair family, now doing business as Domaine du Vicomte Liger-Belair, Chateau de Vosne-Romanee. Until 2005 Bouchard Pere et Fils was responsible for the elevage and marketing of the pinot noir from this vineyard, but that relationship ended Louis-Michael Liger-Belair completed his education and moved back to the family estate. La Romanee is directly up the slope from Romanee-Conti, the most celebrated vineyard in France, and La Romanee’s elevation ranges from 275 to 300 meters.

RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

...insanely beautiful. Impeccably graceful and layered on the palate, the 2011 impresses for its fabulous balance. At once rich and immediate yet also totally weightless...

93The Wine Advocate

There is plenty of freshness here and tension, a pleasant sappiness that continues long on the aftertaste thus urging another sip. Very fine.

93Burghound.com

The intensely mineral-driven flavors possess superb precision and an abundance of underlying tension, all wrapped in a racy, dusty, mouth coating and explosively persistent finish. This is very impressive.

92-95Stephen Tanzer

Dark, slightly reduced aromas of black cherry, gunpowder and black olive tapenade.
