The rating for 2012 Domaine du Comte Liger Belair Clos des Grandes Vignes Nuits St Georges Premier Cru is 92 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos des Grand Vignes from Domaine Comte de Liger-Belair from has a crisp raspberry and blackcurrant-scented nose with nicely integrated oak and appreciable intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft, tart cherry opening. The acidity is nicely judged although it needs more complexity to come through in what feels like a straight-laced finish, which in fact it does with ten minutes in the glass. This improves with aeration, achieving more and more cohesion and precision, whilst there is a lovely edginess on the finish.
