2022 Chambolle-Musigny, Les Fouchères, Thibault Liger-Belair, Burgundy

Description

Once in the Vieilles Vignes blend, this is now a single cuvée. This plot is well positioned above Borniques Premier Cru, a stone’s throw from Le Musigny. As such, there’s more limestone, under 40 centimetres of orange-and-red clay. There’s a sense of filigree here; the vineyard faces north-east, so there is perhaps less intensity than many modern Chambolles.

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.
