Thibault Liger-Belair Nuits-Saint-Georges 1Er Cru Les Saint Georges 2018 750 ML

Volume reduced by the hail, down by 50%. Planted 1944 and 1946 but with substantial replacement of missing vines after 2009. Rich crimson, clear cut nose, extra pure fruit, magical density. Spicy, excellent whole bunch component (40%) with terrific density. For the moment there are slightly dry tannins but this is heading in the right direction.n Producer Informationn Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair is a highly regarded Pinot Noir producer located in Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, France.
