Nuits Saint Georges Clos des Grandes Vignes Premier Cru Monopole
2017RedPinot NoirBurgundy, France
Louis-Michel Liger-Belair reclaimed his family's historic Burgundy estates in the early 2000s after they had been rented out for decades. This wine comes from a single walled vineyard in Nuits-Saint-Georges that only he is allowed to make — which is why bottles are rare and prices reflect that exclusivity.
