2020 Thibault Liger-Belair Les Grands Chaillots

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this cuvée emerges as a testament to the exceptional potential hidden within the Burgundy appellation. Careful selection bestows upon it an aging potential that defies convention, promising a journey of evolution and refinement for those patient enough to wait. What sets this wine apart is not only its surprising longevity but also its remarkable structure, a symphony of depth and complexity that unfolds with each sip, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.

Sourced from select vineyards in the prestigious villages of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny, this blend embodies the essence of two distinct terroirs. A one-hectare plot in Nuits-Saint-Georges, planted between 1978 and 1986, contributes its character, while two-hectare plots in Chambolle-Musigny, dating back to 1954 and 1962, lend their own unique expressions. This harmonious marriage of terroirs infuses the wine with a sense of place, capturing the essence of Burgundy's diverse landscape in every bottle.

Nurtured on clay-silt soils, the vines that produce this exceptional blend thrive in their environment, channelling the essence of the land into the very fabric of the wine. Comprised of 100% Pinot Noir, this wine offers a glimpse into the soul of the varietal, balancing youthful vibrancy with the promise of complexity that comes with age. While undeniably enjoyable in its youth, this wine holds the potential to evolve into something truly extraordinary with a few years of patient cellaring, rewarding those who appreciate the artistry of fine Burgundian winemaking.
