Domaine du Comte Liger Belair Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Clos des Grandes Vignes 2014 750ml

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

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
