Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges Thibault Liger-Belair 2001
The wine
This wine is produced from a Saint Georges parcel that has a total of 2.10 hectares. It was planted in 1944 on stony, brown limestone soil which produces rich, well-structured wines that have great potential for aging. It is aged in oak barrels of which 50% are new. A wine that has a wonderful substance and fine-grained, elegant tannins revealing pure fruit. One of this domaine's must-have wines. Saint Georges covers over one quarter of the appellation's total surface area (7.5 hectares).
