RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

Bursting from the glass with a stunningly complex bouquet of ripe cherries, rose petals, smoked duck and dark chocolate, complemented by exotic top notes of Asian spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and lavish

94+ Vinous / IWC

The palate has a sorbet-like freshness on the entry, plenty of energy and tension interwoven from beginning to end, and hints of marmalade and blood orange that enliven the finish. This is a superb Aux Reignots.

94+ Stephen Tanzer

Very ripe but youthfully muted aromas of redcurrant and smoky, spicy oak complicated by licorice and crushed rock nuance....harmonious acidity giving definition and shape to its red and darker berry, spice and mineral flavors.

94Burghound.com

Notes of superbly elegant and pure dark berry fruit, floral and a wonderful panoply of spice elements. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the refined, intensely mineral-driven and beautifully delineated flavors

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, Vosne-Romanee, Aux Reignots

Aux Reignots is a 4-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It lies just west of Romanee and Romanee-Conti. Burgundy writer Clive Coates has written that Aux Reignots “has a touch of the rustic. But it is full, rich and substantial, nevertheless.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) 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.
