For Thibault Liger-Belair, the main challenge in 2015 was to preserve freshness, but in 2014 there was no shortage of energy or Pinot brightness. Liger-Belair did not bottle his ‘14s until September of ’16, and they are classic representatives of their vintage, offering clear-cut site typicity, penetrating sappiness and definition, and distinctly redder fruit character than the darker ‘15s here.

“Two thousand fourteen has a clear identity,” said Thibault Liger-Belair in December. “When we taste the wines we know where we are. It’s a pure, fresh vintage with personality and energy; the wines show a good balance between acidity and alcohol. They can be drunk now or in ten years. ” He added that “all the quality came from September. ” Yields here ranged from 28 to 40 hectoliters per hectare.
Liger-Belair admitted to having to deal with Drosophila suzukii in some of the parcels that go into his Bourgogne Les Grands Chaillots, which are located near fruit trees, as well as his Chambolle Gruenchers, which is near cherry trees. He did “pre-passes” through the vines to eliminate affected grapes and he destemmed the Gruenchers entirely. But he noted that 2014 is not a fragile vintage. “The pHs are healthy, probably not higher than 3. 4. The natural alcohol levels ranged from 11. 8% to 12. 5%, with a couple higher than that, and the wines will be bottled between 12. 5% and 13. 2%. None of the 2014s had yet been racked and the last sulfur treatment was just after the 2015 harvest.
