2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits La Roche, Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair

Because it is protected by woodland, this vineyard was harvested about a week later than its neighbours, which helped encourage excellent phenolic ripeness without the fruit becoming too confit (and too much). This is moreish-ly salivating, long and elastic. Excellent. Drink from 2026
