Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Thibault Liger-Belair 2014

The wine

Le Clos de Vougeot has a legendary ring to it in the ear of many wine enthusiasts. It conjures up visions of prestige, the vines where it is made growing in the shadow of a 12th century château, a bottle of something truly rare. Thibault Liger-Belair cultivates 0.75 hectares of vines in the south of the appellation, at the point where Clos Vougeot meets Echézeaux. The terroir here is a mosaic of three different kinds of soil. The result? Wines at once fine and powerful.
