THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR - Charmes-Chambertin Grand cru  - 2012

THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR

Charmes-Chambertin Grand cru 2012

Unctuous and explosive on the palate, the 2012 Charmes-Chambertin is laced with the essence of raspberry jam, wild flowers, spices and cloves. The impression is one of total silk as the Charmes opens up in the glass. Thibault Liger-Belair added that the 2012 came in at about 17% potential alcohol. Liger-Belair opted for pump overs exclusively during Vinification and is aging the wine in 100% new French oak. The 2012 is a bit extreme in style but it is also compelling.
