Description

THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR Richebourg Grand Cru TT 2021 is a top-end red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir from old vines in the Richebourg parcel in the Côte de Nuits, France. This vintage received high scores from several critics.

The 2021 vintage of this wine is known for its structure, elegance and complexity, with remarkable ageing potential. 

Tim Atkin (97 points): He describes a "wonderfully spicy and quite floral nose", with notes of anise, tea, violet, lavender, black cherry and cassis. The palate is "rich" and "broad", with a complex, long finish. He notes it's a great wine that will need "long bottle ageing" to reach its peak, with a recommended drinking window from 2038.

Decanter (97 points): Found the wine "reserved at the moment", opening on the palate to reveal notes of redcurrant and plum, touches of spice and mineral earth. The texture is "firm, tannic and dense", with impressive length.

Elite Wines: Notes an intense bouquet of violets and rose petals, with notes of blackberry, wild strawberry and truffle. The palate is described as "full-bodied and rich", with good intensity and minerality.

Burghound (93–95 points): Acknowledges the wine is "aromatically reserved" but reveals notes of spice, flowers and dark cherry with vigorous swirling. The flavours are excellent and muscular, with a long, austere finish.

Neal Martin (Vinous) (92–94 points): Also gave this Richebourg Grand Cru a strong score.
