Thibault Liger Belair Bourgogne Aligote "Clos des Perrieres la Combe" 2020, 750ml

This 0.55-hectare plot, planted in 1978, produces mature and aromatic Aligoté. The limestone soil contributes to the wine's impressive length, surpassing typical expectations for this appellation.

Adjacent to the Village appellation (NSG “les Argillas”), the vineyard is situated on a south-facing hillside on the Vosne-Romanée side, characterized by very calcareous soils.

Harvesting is manual and followed by a one-week skin contact maceration with slow pressing of 8 hours. Aged in oak barrels (no new barrels) for a period of 12 months. 

Tasting Note:

The lively citrus and lime-scented bouquet reveals hints of orange pith with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and linear, with satisfying edginess on the finish.
