Thibault Liger Belair Bourgogne Les Charmes 2020

This is the first white wine produced in the domaine since 2011. The Chardonnay grape varieties come from the Mâconnais in the beautiful region of Lugny near the birthplace of the first Chardonnay produced in Burgundy.

Les Charmes is located at the east of the appellation, composed mainly of very white limestone soil. Its southern exposure offers a good maturity; while the terroir of limestone helps bring beautiful freshness, which compensates the natural richness in the wine.

The average age of the vines is over 40 years old, with the particularity that it is partly composed of Chardonnay plants called "musky" which give the wine all its originality.

The grapes are harvested by hand and followed by a slow pressing of 3 hours.

The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 14 months.
We avoid using oak in order to preserve the freshness and purity of the terroir.
