Thibault Liger-Belair Moulin à Vent La Roche 2020
This wine from Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair epitomizes elegance and potential, starting with a subtle tightness in its youth that promises to blossom with age. Sourced from La Roche, a 2.25-hectare parcel planted between 1920 and 1945, it enjoys a privileged position atop the hill, just 30 meters from the iconic windmill of Moulin à Vent. Here, the classic pink granite terroir infuses the wine with a unique texture and freshness, setting it apart from others in the region.
La Roche's elevated location ensures exceptional aeration, enhancing the wine's finesse and complexity. Crafted with care, the wine undergoes manual harvesting with 40% whole clusters, followed by a gentle three-week fermentation period and 15 months of aging in barrels of 2 to 3 wines. Throughout this process, delicate notes of dried rose petals, black fruits, and soft spices emerge, creating a nuanced profile that evolves beautifully over time. For those seeking a silky and delicate experience, patience is key, as allowing the tannins to soften for 3 to 4 years unveils the wine's full potential, offering a journey of discovery with each sip.
