Thibault Liger Belair, Richebourg Grand Cru 2021	97 Decanter The Richebourg is a bit reserved at present; the fruit only opens up on the palate, showing curranty, plummy fruit, hints of spice, menthol and mineral earth notes give great complexity. The texture is firm, tannic and dense, with impressive length. The wine comes from a half-hectare planted in the 1930s above the DRC holding at the southern end of the appellation. The grapes from these majestic old vines were fermented with 30% whole clusters and a very gentle extraction before ageing in new casks – superb wine at the highest level. – Charles Curtis, Jan 2022	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
