2021 Thibault Liger-Belair, Corton Grand Cru 'Les Renardes,' France

One of Corton's great climats, Les Renardes combines chalk-rich soils with remarkable depth and structure. The pronounced limestone gives the wine tremendous freshness and drive, while the clay contributes breadth and longevity. Powerful, mineral, and built for decades in the cellar.

95 points, Decanter
“This engaging, lovely wine has lovely ripe cherry fruit expression and hints of rose petals and minerals. The texture is silky and supple, yet there is tannic power to spare. This 0.30-hectare parcel of old vines planted is now seventy years of age. The grapes ripen precociously, and he began to pick here on 21 September before the rains on Corton Hill. This concentrated, deep wine should age well in your cellar.”
