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.
MOREY SAINT DENIS 1er Cru Charmes Domaine Lignier-Michelot 2018
The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Charmes 1er Cru has a seductive nose with pure red berry fruit, crushed stone, sous-bois and light orange rind scents, very cohesive and beautifully integrated with the oak. It seems to blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite edgy, focused and fresh. Not quite as persistent as others, yet it exudes energy and complexity towards the finish. Nice one! Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
