2018 Nuits-St Georges, La Charmotte, Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair, Burgundy []

Thibault Liger-Belair has followed organic and biodynamic practices for more than two decades. He believes that winemaking starts not with the fruit but with the soil. “We all talk about terroir, but my focus is on the soil and putting what it needs first,” Thibaut explains. His wines are pure, focused and desirable.

Immediately north of the town, La Charmotte lies just below Premier Cru Aux Bousselots. Firmer tannins from the lighter limestone follow a soft and generous entry from the clay-rich soil. This is pretty and front-loaded with plenty of fresh red-fruit notes.
