Thibault Liger-Belair Moulin-a-Vent la Roche

Temporarily out of stock $59.00

This single-vineyard Gamay comes from 80 year-old bush vines, and is farmed biodynamically. Thibault Liger-Belair is one of the top producers of the Cote-de-Nuits, and he began producing wine in Moulin-a-Vent in 2008. This wine is loaded with smoky notes and spices, with a core of delicious red fruit. This is exceptional.

17.5 POINTS, JANCIS ROBINSON
Deep crimson. A light smoky note of reduction (low SO2 and not much racking). Fabulous dry texture, with graphite, mineral texture. Not fruity or powerful but incredibly refined. ‘Tasted more in the throat than in the mouth’, says Liger-Belair and I think I agree. Very structured and dry and elegant. Peppery more in texture than in flavour. Fine granular texture. All about texture at the moment. Deliciously dry and currently rather closed.
