While distinct from the Vosne-Romanée branch of the Liger-Belair lineage, Thibault has built his domaine with a clear, independent identity, steadily expanding holdings through both inheritance and carefully selected parcels. Today the estate spans key sites across the Côte de Nuits and Beaujolais, reflecting his dual focus on Pinot Noir and Gamay, and his interest in expressing site across different terroirs. He farms organically, with biodynamic principles increasingly informing vineyard work, and places strong emphasis on vine health, soil vitality, and precise harvest timing. In the cellar, his approach is deliberate and restrained, often incorporating whole bunch fermentation, favouring gentle extraction, and adapting élevage to each cuvée to balance structure with clarity of fruit and terroir expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Corvée de Villy is a Hautes Côtes de Nuits parcel situated on elevated limestone slopes above the main escarpment, where cooler temperatures and well drained stony soils produce Pinot Noir with pronounced freshness and aromatic clarity. The site tends to yield a more linear and high toned expression compared to the lower Côte de Nuits, with natural tension and a strong mineral backbone. Liger Belair treats the cuvée with a light touch, incorporating partial whole bunch fermentation to enhance perfume and structure while maintaining precision in extraction. Elevage in barrel is discreet, with a limited proportion of new oak to preserve transparency. The wine shows bright red cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry notes, alongside floral lift, subtle spice and a pronounced chalky edge. The palate is vibrant and finely etched, with delicate tannins and a long, saline finish driven by altitude and limestone energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eFrance, Burgundy, Hautes Côtes de Nuits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2017\/2018\/2020\/2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e12.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eHigh toned, precise, mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003ePartial whole bunch fermentation, gentle extraction, élevage around 12 to 16 months in barrel with restrained new oak, focused on altitude freshness, aromatic lift and mineral tension\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic, Low intervention\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair","offers":[{"title":"2017","offer_id":55515126497656,"sku":"BOURGOGVI-17-THI-RED","price":41.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2018","offer_id":55515126530424,"sku":"BOURGOGVI-18-THI-RED","price":41.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2020","offer_id":55515126563192,"sku":"BOURGOGVI-20-THI-RED","price":44.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2022","offer_id":55515126595960,"sku":"BOURGOGVI-22-THI-RED","price":44.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Bour_HCDN_La_Corvee_de_Villy_TLBA.png?v=1776429390","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/bourgogne-hautes-cotes-de-nuits-la-corvee-de-villy-domaine-thibault-liger-belair-2017","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
