2020 Moulin-à-Vent, La Roche, Thibault Liger-Belair, Beaujolais

Description

Thibault considers this his “Premier Cru” of Moulin-à-Vent. The vineyard is at the top of the hill, close to the windmill, on pink granite. This is the most intense wine in the range, sparkling with granitic minerality. Most vines are nearly 100 years old. There is texture, finesse, length and sinew. This has a graceful, beguiling strength.

About this wine

Gamay

A French variety planted predominately in Beaujolais where it is the grape behind everything from light and often acidic Beaujolais Nouveau through to the more serious and well-structured wines from the 10 cru villages. It takes its name from a hamlet just outside Chassagne-Montrachet and was at one stage widely planted on the Côte d`Or. However it was gradually phased out due to its poor yield and supposed poor quality of its wines.
