THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR

Richebourg Grand cru 2013

- 95 points -

The domaine’s vines are located in the oldest part of the Grand Cru and run to 1 hecatre. No whole bunches are used here, because the “complicated” terroir doesn’t suit it. A little closed at present, this wine is comparatively backward and tight, but there’s no denying that what lies beneath is very fine, concentrated and nuanced with a hint of Richebourg wildness.
