CORTON Grand Cru Clos du Roi Thibault Liger-Belair 2016
(this is another new wine for Liger-Belair, from vines planted in 1952 and 1944; about 38 hectoliters per hectare produced; made with 20% whole clusters): Bright ruby-red. Kirsch, licorice and mint dominate the youthfully medicinal nose. Then distinctly dark in character and clenched today, showing limited sweetness and early personality to its savory flavors of dark berries, mint and licorice. There's a cool medicinal quality here that's just this side of hard. Finishes more salty than sweet, with building tannins. The white marl in the soil gives this wine a firm style, notes Liger-Belair, who may give it a later bottling.
MEURSAULT 1er Cru Genevrières Domaine Rémi Jobard 2019
Ripe, fresh and naturally exotic aromas of white and yellow orchard fruit, acacia and jasmine tea. The finer if less concentrated middle weight flavors brim with both minerality and a refreshing salinity on the elegant, indeed almost delicate, bone-dry and gorgeously persistent finish. Despite very much being a wine of finesse, this is also going to need at least a decade of cellaring to arrive at its peak.
