Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes
2020
Thibault Liger-Belair comes from a great winemaking family that has deep roots in Burgundy: he is a direct descendant of the Napoleonic General Louis Liger-Belair, who acquired the Chateau de Vosne in 1815 when he married Ludovie Marey, whose family had been Burgundy negociants since 1720. Youthful, passionate and always full of ideas, Thibault trained as an oenologist, but had his start in the wine industry as a wine buyer. He is also a former rugby player with a genuine 'down to earth'...

A 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.
