🏰 The 2019 布根地 (Burgundy) vintage is widely regarded as excellent, with some even calling it legendary. Red wines from this year are described as brilliant, beautifully balanced, offering a seductive depth of fruit with classical acidity, and possessing the structure needed for long-term cellaring. Indeed, 2019 was a truly great year for red 布根地. Yields were lower due to spring frost and dry, warm weather, which concentrated the crop, resulting in wines of fabulous quality. While specific notes for Thibault Liger-Belair Richebourg Grand Cru 2019 are not available, general characteristics for Richebourg Grand Cru from this vintage include a very pure and focused profile, with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, orange peel, and blood orange, sometimes with a hint of black truffle. These wines are typically medium-bodied with firm but fine tannins, wonderfully focused, spicier, and more savory, leading to a long finish. Expect floral notes of violet, lavender, and rose petal on a highly spiced array of red berry aromas, with lovely underlying tension and focused power. The palate is often described as opulent and expressive, with a seamless balance of concentrated fruit, supple tannins, and fresh acidity. 🥂 This superb wine is capable of decades of cellaring, with some Richebourg Grand Crus from this vintage anticipated to develop and last over the next 50 years. 🍴 It pairs wonderfully with duck, goose, and other game birds. 【A luxurious and opulent Grand Cru from a truly great 2019 布根地 vintage, showcasing immense concentration and a seamless balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity】
