Comte Liger-Belair - Echezeaux 2016

The Comte Liger-Belair Échézeaux 2016 stands as one of the most iconic expressions from the celebrated Domaine of Vosne-Romanée — a benchmark of elegance, precision, and artisanal mastery in the Côte de Nuits. Sourced from carefully selected parcels within the prestigious Échézeaux Grand Cru, this Pinot Noir captures the purest essence of the Liger-Belair philosophy: aromatic finesse, perfect balance, and a depth that evolves beautifully over time.

The 2016 vintage, marked by extremely low yields and a superb balance of ripeness and freshness, produced a wine of remarkable intensity. On the nose, it reveals notes of ripe red berries, rose petals, exotic spices, and subtle hints of forest floor. The palate is refined and layered, featuring silky tannins, mineral tension, and a long, persistent finish that showcases the nobility of the Flagey-Échézeaux terroir.

A highly coveted Grand Cru within the Liger-Belair lineup, praised by critics for its precision, purity, and depth. The combination of the outstanding 2016 vintage — considered one of the best of the decade — and the craftsmanship of Louis-Michel Liger-Belair positions this Échézeaux as a modern benchmark among Burgundy Pinot Noir.
