About This Wine
The 2012 Golden Dragon Collection from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is the first to include wine from Nuits-Saint-Georges: a red and a white from the Clos des Grandes Vignes monopole, bought that year.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dark cherry, violet and spice on the reds; citrus peel and white flowers on the white.
- Palate: Concentrated reds with fine tannin, and a textured, fresh Chardonnay.
- Finish: Long in the Grands Crus, with the Nuits red firmer and more savoury.
Serving & Food
Drink the blanc first, at 11 to 13°C, with seared scallops, then the reds with roast squab.

About the Domaine
Comte Louis-Michel Liger-Belair took over his family's domaine in 2000, in a line that began when General Louis Liger-Belair bought the Château de Vosne-Romanée in 1815. The domaine is run from the château, the family home since then.
