2021 Thibault Liger-Belair Cote de Nuits-Villages Au Leurey Vigne de 1937

LOCATION
It is the first vineyard of Côte de Nuits Village in the south of appellation Nuits Saint Georges.
The neighborhood from premiers crus Clos de la Maréchal and Clos de l’Arlot offer an
extremely favorable situation to produce an unexpected powerful wine for the appellation.
TERROIR
This vineyard was mostly planted in 1937 and is located on fairly shallow soil. Its south-east
exposure also gives a good maturity in this fairly premature terroir. The presence of a lot of
limestone in this vineyard allow to keep nice freshness.
VINIFICATION
Harvesting is manual with 40% of whole clusters.
3 weeks of fermentation with very light extraction.
30% of new oak barrels are used for an aging period of 18 months..
VARIETALS
Pinot Noir 100%
TASTING NOTES
This wine develops a beautiful Pinot fruit on a slightly minty background. Well-structured in
the palate, it presents very supple and melted tannins, with aromas of red fruits (blackcurrant,
redcurrant, raspberry).
