Thibault Liger Belair Successeurs Corton Grand Cru "Clos du Roi" 2020, 750ml

This 0.30-hectare plot, planted in 1956, is one of the most famous terroirs of Corton, located in the southern part of the hill, just before it turns to the south side. The soil is rich in red clay and iron, with slight calcareous content.

The grapes are harvested manually, with 25% whole clusters used. Fermentation lasts for three weeks with very light extraction. The wine is aged for 20 months in 50% new oak barrels.

Tasting Note:

A wine of immense complexity and detail. The palate features creamy black cherry and delightful tannins that start off intensely silky before transforming into firm, rocky, limestone layers that coat the palate.
