2022 Gevrey-Chambertin, En Créots, Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair, Burgundy

Description

This is the final vintage of this wine as, sadly, Thibault no longer has the contract to purchase the fruit. The vineyard is at the Brochon end of Gevrey, often regarded for high-quality, mineral expressions. There is no whole-bunch here because of the high limestone content. This is incredibly pure wine with creamy, red fruit and a bright, chalky freshness.

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.
