Thibault Liger-Belair – La Roche – AOC Moulin-à-Vent 2022

The wine has a beautiful ruby ​​color. The nose is intense, with notes of undergrowth and crisp black fruits. There is a slight darkness and a certain austerity on the nose. There are also subtle notes of ash and cigar. The second nose opens with more fruits like blackcurrant and blackberry, not forgetting juicy cherry. It is discreet. The palate is fresh, fruity with a note of rose potpourris from the start. There is good salivating acidity, fresh and crisp fruits in the mid-palate like morello cherry and blackberry. The tannins develop, powerful and with a hint of licorice until the finish where they soften. We find notes of leather, undergrowth, cigar and ash. There is a pinch of sweet spices and especially black pepper until the end of the tasting. A very “masculine” wine with complexity and in a very defined style.
