Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Description
This Chambolle-Musigny “Vieilles Vignes” is composed of 5 different parcels. In the south of Chambolle, stand the “Fouchères” neighbor of the premier cru “Borniques” and right above we find the famous “Musigny” with a soil of limestone. In the north, next to More-Saint-Denis, “Gamaires” with a deeper soil. Finally, we have “Fremières” next to “Beaux Bruns”, 2 very different Chambolle Villages.
This wine has notes of red and black cherry, violet and spice. The light but well-defined licorice-tinged bouquet opens nicely with aeration. The medium-bodied palate offers succulent black cherries and cassis on the entry and fine acidity. The finish is a bit tight but with time it softens.
Vinous: 91-93 Points
A blend of five parcels with some declassified Premier Cru, the 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Vieille Vignes has quite a precocious bouquet with exuberant red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, silky smooth in texture with a finish with echoes of Ghislaine-Barthod. If you like that style, you will like this. Very fine.
Burghound: 89-91 Points
Ripe and nicely fresh aromas of cherry, cassis and violet are trimmed in subtle though visible wood. There is fine volume and density to the noticeably finer middle weight flavors that are very Chambollesque while exhibiting good power on the youthfully austere finale.
