Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Description
"les Levrey" is the first vineyard of Côte de Nuits Village in the south of appellation Nuits Saint Georges. The neighborhood from premiers crus Clos de la Maréchal and Clos de l’Arlot offer an extremely favorable situation to produce an unexpected powerful wine for the appellation.
This vineyard was mostly planted in 1937 and is located on fairly shallow soil. Its south-east exposure also gives a good maturity in this fairly premature terroir. The presence of a lot of limestone in this vineyard allow to keep nice freshness.
This wine develops a beautiful Pinot fruit on a slightly minty background. Well-structured in the palate, it presents very supple and melted tannins, with aromas of red fruits (blackcurrant, redcurrant, raspberry).
Vinous
The debut 2018 Côte de Nuits Les Leury was touched by hail, ergo Thibault Liger-Belair did not include any whole bunch in the blend. This has a well-defined and quite tertiary nose of brambly red fruit mixed with field mushrooms and wet limestone. The medium-bodied palate offers crunchy red fruit.
