About This Wine
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair's Golden Dragon Collection gathers eight bottles from across the estate in one gold-capsuled wooden case.
2021 brought frost at budbreak, a cool wet spring and mildew, and only September sun ripened a tiny crop.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Redcurrant, red cherry and rose petal, with a herbal touch.
- Palate: Medium weight and bright.
- Finish: Clean and perfumed, with fine tannins.
Serving & Food
Open the lighter wines over the next few years and wait for the grand crus. Steamed chicken with ginger and spring onion or grilled quail suits them.
