2017 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Nuits St Georges Clos des Grandes Vignes Blanc Premier Cru

Other Reviews....
A background application of wood frames ripe and fresh white-fleshed fruit aromas that exhibit a whisper of exotic character. The attractively textured and fleshy flavors possess very good length if only average depth on the ever-so-mildly warm finish. Note that this very forward effort should also drink well young.

The 2017 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos des Grandes Vignes Blanc had seen no sulfur dioxide between the vintage and September 2018, as Liger-Belair believes in letting the wine get quite oxidative before bringing it back to a more reductive state later in its élevage. Offering up aromas of waxy lemon rind, bruised apples and honeycomb, the wine is medium to full-bodied, textural and phenolic, with chewy structuring extract and a long, mouthwatering finish.

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Grands Vignes Blanc 1er Cru, matured in around 28% new oak, has an attractive bouquet with scents of brioche, honey and yellow flowers plus a hint of custard creams in the background. The palate is well balanced with a creamy opening, a little low in acidity compared to recent vintages, but displays fine purity toward the finish. Drink over the next decade.
