ニュイ・サン・ジョルジュ ラ・シャルモット 2005 ティボー・リジェ・ベレール
[2005] ニュイ・サン・ジョルジュ ラ・シャルモット 750ml (ティボー・リジェ・ベレール)赤【コク辛口】 CP86はっきり言って鈍重なワインです。飲んでいて疲れます。こう言う重いブルゴーニュが好きな方もいるのでしょうが、私の込みではありません。この人のワインも色々飲みましたが、これは最も鈍重でしょう。03や05でももっと飲みやすいワインもありました。まあ寝かせれば良くなるのだと思います。同じ重くても果実味に透明感があればよいのですが、濁った味に感じます。人によっては素晴らしいグッと来るピノだと言う人もいるのでこれは好みの問題かも知れません。2日目も3日目も重いです。 2005 Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Nuits St Georges la Charmotte Wine Advocate # 171Jun 2007 David Schildknecht (88-90) Drink: N/A $49 (58) The 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges La Charmotte offers somewhat reduced aromas of wood smoke and well aged game, along with ripe cherry and cherry pit. Tart fruit skin and high-toned inner-mouth esters, ashen smokiness, and rather somber notes of moss, forest floor and wet stone persist into a finish that approaches bitter concentration of fruit skin and mineral. This is highly impressive in its relatively dark, austere way, and would be fascinating to revisit in a few years. In this his fourth vintage, and (like his cousin at Comte Liger-Belair in Vosne-Romanee) young, ambitious in the pursuit of quality, well-traveled, and in the process of taking back family property from rental and negociant contracts, Thibault Liger-Belair is ensconced in deep, ancient, and bitterly-cold cellars in the center of Nuits-St.-Georges. He has begun pursuing a biodynamic regimen in his vineyards and has inaugurated a rigorously-controlled negociant arm (its wines labeled "Thibault Liger-Belair Successeurs" and designated "S" in my listings). He says he approached 2005 with great caution lest the wines lose polish and finesse to over-extraction of tannins. Certainly the results have included some very powerful and formidably structured wines. Low sulfur and a significant inclusion of whole clusters ("depending on the circumstances and site," he says, "- I have no system") are among other prominent features of Liger-Belair's approach in 2005.
