Thibault Liger-Belair 2014 Aloxe Corton "La Toppe au Vert" 1er Cru 750ml
Winemaker's Notes:
0.31 ha of vine planted in 1965
Situated in the hearth of the village of Ladoix-Serrigny, just under “les Corton Vergennes”. This vine is planted on a relatively deep soil composed of fine clay and limestone.
This wines is very elegant, characterized by their great purity and their smoothness, it’s always very length in mouth.
Critical Acclaim:
(made from purchased grapes grown on calcaire-rich soil): Bright, deep red. Aromatic nose offers scents of wild strawberry, raspberry, spices, smoke and game. Not a thick style but intensely flavored and fruity, with excellent thrust and a light touch to its wild red berry flavors. Finishes with a distinctly rocky, saline quality, firm tannins and sneaky length. Score: 88-91 points -- Vinous, Jan 2013
