laying-down2019 Bourgogne Rouge, Les Grands Chaillots, Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair

One-third is from domaine fruit from Nuits with, since 2017, two hectares in Chambolle, including Bons Bâtons. There’s usually about 20% whole-bunch. The UK sample showed sweet and ripe fruit, a svelte undertone and a whiff of cinnamon. The palate was round and ample, very complete for this level. Finishing with strawberry fruit, it’s a classy, well-composed wine.

Drink 2021-2028.
