The Epitome of Elegance. A Benchmark Grand Cru. In the vast landscape of Echezeaux, one producer stands above the rest alongside DRC: Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. Louis-Michel Liger-Belair’s interpretation of this Grand Cru is legendary. Sourced principally from the Les Cruots (Vignes Blanches) lieu-dit, this wine transforms the natural power of Echezeaux into a masterpiece of refinement and aromatic complexity.

The Style: "The Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove" Liger-Belair is the master of texture. Through his unique "infusion" extraction method and lavish (yet integrated) use of new oak, he creates an Echezeaux that feels weightless yet profound. It is famous for its exotic, spicy profile that distinguishes it from all others.

The Vintage: 2022 A vintage of radiance and generosity. The 2022 Echezeaux is hedonistic and expressive, layering ripe, sun-drenched fruit over a structure of pure silk. It is a wine that offers immense pleasure even in its youth, with the backbone to age for decades.

Tasting Profile

  • The Nose: A mesmerizing kaleidoscope of Asian spices (sandalwood, star anise), potpourri, and crushed red berries, lifted by notes of graphite and fine espresso.

  • The Palate: Sumptuous and expansive. The texture is akin to liquid cashmere. It fills the mouth with sweet fruit and savory minerals, finishing with a lingering, spicy resonance that is the hallmark of this domaine.
