Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers Thibault Liger-Belair Successeurs 2006

The wine

In 2001, Thibault Liger-Belair, a young oenologist, took over the family vines, which up to then had been grown on rented land. From a long line of Burgundy property owners and merchants, the Liger-Belair family owned, at some point in time, some of the biggest and most beautiful terroirs in all of Burgundy. Since then, Thibault Liger-Belair's estate, located in Nuits Saint-Georges, quickly looked to establish its own style. First of all by converting to biodynamic cultivation, and then by looking to add a wonderful delicacy and a dignified finish to the wine, worthy of Burgundy’s best terroirs and winegrowers.
This plot of Premier Cru land, situated in Chambolle-Musigny, belongs to the Sigaut family. Now at the heart of this prestigious family, the wines that have been made there by Thibault Liger-Belair are powerful and rich with robust tannins but nevertheless are marked by a strong mineral finish that leaves a lasting impression.
