Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Bourgogne Gamay "Les Deux Terres" 2017

A new cuvee from dynamo Thibault Liger Belair, comprised of Gamay from Moulin-a-Vent in Beaujolais and Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. This is under the relatively new Bourgogne Gamay classification Which says the wines must contain a minimum of 30% Cru Beaujolais Gamay blended with Bourgogne Pinot Noir.

The name 'les Deux Terres' (the two lands) is a nod to the two origins, Thibault describes as a marriage 'between Beaujolais and Bourgogne, and Gamay and Pinot Noir'. It is 70% Cru Beaujolais & 30% Bourgogne Pinot Noir, and offers a nose of cool black cherries, raspberries and liquorice. There is a good energy to the wine, with brisk salinity and granitic minerality, while firm tannins ground the wine.
