Thibault Liger-Belair Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018
Red
Gevrey-Chambertin, France
7.0
WineSaint
Ripe and immediately appealing, but lacks the mineral drive and structural complexity that elevates great Charmes-Chambertin. Sweet cherry and red fruit dominate, while the whole cluster treatment creates a candied quality that overwhelms the terroir. Well-crafted technically, yet missing the tension and depth this grand cru site can deliver.
