THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR - Moulin-à-Vent Les Rouchaux - 2013

THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR

Moulin-à-Vent Les Rouchaux 2013

Very dark crimson. Elegant, dark-red fruit. Attractively dusty sensation. Dry and a little more herbal. Tight and dry and zesty. Great finesse and upright, fine-boned structure. More austere than the Vieilles Vignes. Dry and a little bony on the palate. Rocky and dark, with a beautifully dry chalky texture. With time in the glass, it develops a fresh, slightly stemmy herbal character but not in the least underripe, almost minty. A complete baby. Later this went very well with the braised turbot and woodland mushrooms though still not giving its full aromatic potential.
