Product Description

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2020 by Thibault Liger-Belair is a striking expression of one of Burgundy’s most legendary terroirs. This parcel lies mid-slope within the historic walled vineyard, benefiting from excellent drainage and optimal sun exposure — delivering a Pinot Noir that is simultaneously muscular and refined.

The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was marked by warm conditions and low yields, producing wines of concentration, balance, and aromatic purity. This Clos Vougeot reveals the grandeur and structure typical of the site, wrapped in Liger-Belair’s hallmark elegance and detail.

• Meticulous vineyard work: biodynamic farming, hand-harvested

• Fermented with native yeasts; matured in French oak (approx. 50% new) for 16–18 months

• Bottled with minimal intervention to preserve terroir expression
