THIBAULT LIGER-BELAIR-NUITS ST GEORGES 1ER ST GEORGES TT 2021

Les Saint Georges is the lieu-dit that gives its name to the village of Nuits. A vineyard of great importance and local "Grand Cru" status, planted since the year 1000. Produced from a plot planted in 1944, it benefits from the exposure and the limestone soil with lots of stones. 40% whole bunches and 22 months in 50% new barrels. Deep and complex.

Thibault Liger-Belair, based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, is one of the great talents of his generation in Burgundy. From his family, who have been growing vineyards since the 18th century, he inherited parcels and vineyards such as Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot and Les Saint Georges, and over the years he has added others in the region and also in Beaujolais, as well as making some cuvées with grapes from partner vignerons. His production has recently moved to an incredible new winery that is completely self-sustainable, with geothermal pipes, recycled materials, solar energy and even extracting his own sulphite from a mine in Hungary. He is certified organic and works the vineyards with biodynamic concepts. His production philosophy is minimalist, without excessive wood and using reductive processes to protect and add complexity. Natural fermentations and the use of whole bunches in different proportions when he deems necessary. His style is striking and with a classic signature that has already made a name for himself among Burgundy lovers.

Layers of aromas where we find black cherries, raspberries and violets with some hints of spices. On the palate it is voluminous, intense and spicy. Juicy finish.
