  Bullseye… Perfect harmony and good quality vs. price ratio. I wonder where you can get this amount of quality for the price of 22 Euro anno 2022? If so - please show me 😎. The primary fruity notes are there, but you can’t deny the insanely delicious “Sous Bois” notes of damp and moist forrest floor and mushrooms.

  In 'sweet spot' at the moment. Unassuming, fun wine with a great deal of elegance. Drink up! Lovely!

  A very nice, current-drinking red burgundy to enjoy without over thinking the bottle. A true step above most Bourgogne Rouge, this Liger-Belair offering brings the delightful subtle hand of the estate to a a basic but fruit driven wine. No unbalanced tannins or bouts of excessive forward fruit as with many Bourgogne Rouges from 2015. The main trait, oddly, is elegance without a lot of substance. Just as it seems like there is a definable fruit or other flavor trait, it gets lost in the inconsistent and occasionally watery melange. This is not a serious issue with a wine at this level and did not interfere with the pleasure of drinking, as long, once again, there was no effort to over think this wine. A bit overpriced in Stockholm but a great QPR in the retail market.
