Description

Thibault Liger-Belair Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru TT 2021 is a classic red Burgundy, known for its remarkable balance, saturated tannins and aromatic complexity, which have earned it high critical scores.

Nose: The bouquet is complex and spicy, with prominent notes of spice, chestnuts, black pepper and earthy ‘nuances’, supported by vibrant red and black fruit.

Palate: Dense and structured, with flavours of blackcurrant, liquorice and tart fruit and a distinct minerality on the finish. Critics highlight its fine, saturated, firm tannins, though some find the finish a little rough.

Terroir: The wine comes from a parcel in the Clos Vougeot vineyard spanning three distinct soil types: stony clay, small pebbles with red clay, and finer clays and silts. This diversity gives a wine of richness and delicacy, often described as having the roundness of a Vosne-Romanée rather than the power of other Clos-Vougeot parcels.

Viticulture: The grapes are hand-picked from biodynamically farmed vines. The wine ages for 20 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. Thibault Liger-Belair used 30% whole bunches in 2021, adding to the wine's complexity and precision.
