2021 Beaune, Les Teurons, 1er Cru, Domaine Pierre Thibert, Burgundy

Description

Pierre Thibert is an exciting new discovery for us. This tiny domaine is located in the village of Corgoloin, at the southern end of the Côte de Nuits. The Thibert family bought this vineyard in 2018 and it always produces ethereal, elegant wines. The 2021 has an expressive nose of strawberry, rose petals and sweet spice. The cranberry and redcurrant fruit is crunchy and juicy, wrapped in delicate, silken tannins. This is a great example of the subtle and pretty style that Arthur Thibert is aiming for.

Light and maybe a bit too sweet. Not the freshest sample? Fruit is just a little tired, but this may well be the wine, not the sample. Short-term pleasure?Drink 2025 - 2032jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (January 2023)

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Domaine Pierre Thibert

Domaine Pierre Thibert may be a young estate by Burgundian standards, but it has seen constant growth and modernisation since its inception. While volumes are small, the wines are excellent: intense, beautifully balanced, accessible, and with wonderful purity of fruit.
