{"product_id":"moulin-a-vent-la-roche-domaine-thibault-liger-belair-2018","title":"Moulin-à-Vent La Roche, Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair","description":"\u003cp\u003eThibault Liger Belair took over the family domaine in 2001, re establishing a historic Nuits Saint Georges estate whose roots trace back several generations within one of Burgundy’s most recognised families. While distinct from the Vosne Romanee 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 Cote 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 elevage to each cuvee to balance structure with clarity of fruit and terroir expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Roche is a Moulin a Vent parcel rooted in decomposed granite and manganese rich soils that define the most structured expressions of the appellation. The site tends to produce Gamay with notable depth and verticality, combining dark fruit intensity with a firm mineral backbone. Liger Belair works the vineyard with a precise and low intervention approach, using a proportion of whole bunch fermentation to build aromatic complexity and structural framing. Extraction is careful but sustained to shape texture without losing lift, and elevage is carried out in neutral vessels and larger format barrels to preserve purity. The wine shows concentrated black cherry, blackberry and red plum, layered with violet florals, crushed stone and spice. The palate is dense yet energetic, with firm but finely etched tannins and a long, mineral driven finish that reflects the granite tension and power of Moulin a Vent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eFrance, Beaujolais, Moulin a Vent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003eGamay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2018\/2019\/2020\/2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e13.0%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eStructured, mineral, powerful\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 but extended extraction, elevage in neutral barrels and large format vessels, focused on structure, aromatic depth and granite driven 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":"2018","offer_id":55515144946040,"sku":"MOULINLR-18-THI-RED","price":41.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2019","offer_id":55515144978808,"sku":"MOULINLR-19-THI-RED","price":43.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2020","offer_id":55515145011576,"sku":"MOULINLR-20-THI-RED","price":43.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2022","offer_id":55515145044344,"sku":"MOULINLR-22-THI-RED","price":49.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Moulin_La_Roche_TLBA.png?v=1776429391","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/moulin-a-vent-la-roche-domaine-thibault-liger-belair-2018","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
