Thibault Liger-Belair, Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2020
Thibault Liger Belair Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2020 打敗 了 黑雞Vogüé 和 JF Mugnier 的 Chambolle Musigny; Jasper Morris 給了 94 的高分 , 以及 5 顆星最高!
95 pts Decanter (Oct 2021):
Liger-Belair fermented the fruit with 40% whole clusters during a three-week cuvaison and is ageing it in 30% new oak casks to produce a wine with admirable concentration, plummy fruit and a subtle, nuanced complexity on the finish.
94 pts Jasper Morris (Nov 2021):
From five plots, both below and above the village. 40% whole bunches. Very fragrant, classically Chambolle, violets, nothing of a hot vintage, vibrant, absolutely mouth filling, these are old vines from the 1950s for the most part, with a lovely long pulled out red fruit finish. Very fine indeed. Built on a fruit acid balance more than tannins. This year I find the blend more compelling than the two small bottlings of single vineyard Chambolles.
93 pts Vinous (Nov 2021):
blend of five parcels with some declassified Premier Cru, The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Vieille Vignes has quite a precocious bouquet with exuberant red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, silky smooth in texture with a finish with echoes of Ghislaine-Barthod. If you like that style, you will like this. Very fine.
91 pts Allen Meadows, Burghound (Jan 2022):
Ripe and nicely fresh aromas of cherry, cassis and violet are trimmed in subtle though visible wood. There is fine volume and density to the noticeably finer middle weight flavors that are very Chambollesque while exhibiting good power on the youthfully austere finale.
Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair 位於法國布根地(Burgundy)夜丘(Cote de Nuits)的子產區夜聖喬治(Nuits-Saint-Georges),是該產區內一座歷史悠久的精品酒莊。
Thibault Liger-Belair與已然成為膜拜級的Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair出自同門,酒莊徽標都是雙獅,細微的不同在於後者有一個象徵王權的皇冠。
酒莊擁有7.25公頃的葡萄園,分佈在5個產酒村中,包括Vosne Romanee、Vougeot、Nuits-Saint-Georges以及Gevrey Chambertin等。Thibault酒莊崇尚自然,其有機種植法已獲得法國國際生態認證中心(ECOCERT)的肯定。為了踐行生物動力法,培育優質釀酒葡萄,酒莊密切關注著葡萄樹的生長週期,並依據天氣變化,四季變更以及行星運動等一系列變動,為葡萄創造理想的生長環境。
而Thibault Liger-Belair所有的葡萄園中,最古老的莫過於位於 Romanee Cont 旁的Richebourg,所持有的0.52公頃葡萄園種植於1931年到1936年間,在這個歷史悠久的特級園的南邊,和La Romanee和Romanee Conti僅有50公尺的距離。
2001年,作為Liger-Belair家族的第六代繼承, Thibault Liger-Belair讓家族的葡萄酒業東山再起。他先後建立了以自己名字命名的酒莊與葡萄酒公司,並重新開墾那富有歷史意義,充滿傳奇色彩的家族葡萄園,期望把家族的葡萄酒釀造工藝與經營理念再度傳承下去。
