Corton Grand cru Les Renardes 2012
Liger-Belairs' 2012 Corton Les Renardes is dazzling. Layers of expressive dark fruit blossom in an intense, structured Burgundy that is going to require quite a bit of time. This is classic Renardes in its power and muscle, yet all the elements fall into place gracefully. Smoke, iron, chalk and a host of mineral-infused notes support the finish. I find the balance of fruit and structure here absolutely compelling.
