Thibault Liger Belair Successeurs Savigny les Beaune "Clos du Village" Blanc 2020, 750ml
Produced since the 2017 vintage, this cuvée comes from the west side of Savigny in the Lieu-dit called “Le Village.” It’s a small, 0.2-hectare plot surrounded by a wall.
The east/south-west facing plots are established on a hilltop above the 1er Cru 'Clos du Roi.' The soil is a mix of clay, limestone, and sand, deep and well-draining.
The grapes are harvested manually and undergo a long press of three hours. Fermentation occurs in oak barrels, with no filtration and light fining using bentonite. Aged in oak barrels (no new barrels) for a period of 15 months.
Tasting Note:
The Savigny is fresh, full, harmonious, and delicate. The fruit aromas, combined with a more mineral note, give it depth and structure. The palate is lively and deep, enhanced by a velvety texture. The powerful finish is accented by a spicy note. Its fullness will be reached after two years in the bottle.
