THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR - Aloxe-Corton 1er cru La Toppe au Vert - 2015

THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR

Aloxe-Corton 1er cru La Toppe au Vert 2015

(from a crop level of 28 hectoliters per hectare, according to Liger-Belair; 100% destemmed): Moderately saturated medium red. High-toned aromas of sappy raspberry and roast coffee. Sweet but a bit subdued in the mouth, with a rather linear quality to its red fruit flavors. Not a fleshy or easygoing style but delivers lovely purity and thrust. And the fine-grained tannins arrive late, allowing the wine's perfume to build. These vines are at least 50 years old, according to Liger-Belair.
