Every Liger Belair experience is a revelation, and the 2020 La Colombiere village wine is no different. It opens with a bouquet of blueberries, red plums, and strawberries—sweet and luscious, with floral notes, spices, smokiness, and earthy undertones creating a rich tapestry. The vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and light, crisp body are beautifully harmonious, and I can only imagine how much better it will get with time.
La Colombiere is a signature village cru in Vosne Romanee, Liger Belair shares just 0.78 hectares in total. Remarkably, 30% of the vines are 92 years old, another 30% are 72, and the rest are 52. This treasure trove of old vines yields only 10 barrels (about 3,000 bottles) each year, making it truly memorable alongside many 1er Crus.
