Description
Thibault Liger Belair's story is one of a tireless quest for purity and the most authentic expression of Burgundian terroir. Coming from a family with a winemaking tradition dating back to the 18th century, Thibault decided in 2001 to take the reins of the domaine and transform his approach to biodynamic viticulture, convinced that only in this way could he capture the soul of his vineyards.
Thibault Liger-Belair Bourgogne Les Grands Chaillots is his interpretation of Bourgogne Pinot Noir at its purest: a wine born from a meticulous selection of plots in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne Romanée, with soils rich in clay and limestone, marked by the presence of 'chaillots', those pebbles that bring freshness and structure. In this land, where the continental climate forges vibrant and expressive reds, Liger-Belair makes a wine that transcends its category, showing the elegance and character of the Côte de Nuits.
Winemaking
The vinification of Thibault Liger Belair Bourgogne Les Grands Chaillots follows a process that is as meticulous as it is natural. After a manual harvest in small crates to preserve the integrity of the grapes, 40% of the bunches are left whole, giving tension and structure to the wine. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, respecting the personality of each plot. A prolonged maceration of more than 20 days extracts the best of the Pinot Noir, resulting in a wine of depth and balance. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, only 20% of which are new, allowing the fruit and terroir to shine through without masking. Without filtration or aggressive fining, each bottle is a faithful testimony to the vineyard.
Taste
From first contact with the glass, Thibault Liger Belair Bourgogne Les Grands Chaillots displays a seductive and precise nose, where ripe red fruits - raspberries, sour cherries and redcurrants - intertwine with floral notes of violet and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, the texture is refined, with a perfect balance between vibrant freshness and silky tannins that give structure and persistence. The oak ageing adds slight spicy hints of cinnamon and a barely perceptible smoky echo, always in the background, without stealing the limelight from the purity of the fruit. The finish is long, mineral and saline, leaving the palate with the imprint of limestone and the freshness of the Côte de Nuits. A Bourgogne that, far from being a simple introduction to the Pinot Noir of the region, is a declaration of intent: depth, authenticity and an undeniably Burgundian character.
