Fine mid purple, with a lifted red fruit, perhaps one of the more volatile cuvées. The density is what it should be, with the fruit hovering between black and red berries, medium length. Just misses its Vosne hedonistic nobility. Drinking range: 2026 - 2031 Rating: *** 89-91 L&S (Nov 2022)

Fab. This is just such a lovely expressive wine. Nearly as fine a touch as the Chambolle, with more depth and savour - as Thibault puts it, it has the 'onctuosité de Vosne'. Drinking range: 2026 - 2033L&S (Oct 2022)

These vines sit in lots of small, rounded stones that have worked down from the upper valley, and they face almost directly south. Spice, cocoa and toast join black cherries to saturate the palate and finish. Stylish and very Vosne, this drinks more like a Premier Cru. Rating: 94 *** Christy Canterbury MW - TimAtkin.com (Feb 2023)

A wonderfully fragrant and even spicier nose offers up its array of jasmine tea, rose petal, violet and mix of red and dark cherry scents. The velvet textured and highly seductive medium weight flavors that are not super-dense yet still convey a sense of volume that carries over the beautifully complex, balanced and sneaky long finish. This is consistently the domaine’s finest villages wine and that is likely to be the case again. Recommended. Drinking range: 2029 - Rating: 90-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2023)

Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair

Thibault Liger-Belair has two hectares in Les Saint Georges, the vineyard which gives Nuits the rest of its name, and 60 ares out of a total of 4 hectares of the Grand Cru Richebourg, as well as a good holding in the Clos Vougeot and some well-placed village wines. The vineyards are a good start, but it is Thibault himself who has catapulted this domaine straight into the very top echelons of Côte de Nuits domaines from his first vintage (2002). Thibault was trained as an oenologist but first worked as a wine buyer. He has come to wine making with a wide experience of wine buying, and has had the advantage of having discussed wine-making for many years, with the benefit of his oenological background, with some of the best winemakers of the world. Viticulture is biodynamic (since 2005), yields low but not ludicrously low, everything is pragmatic, so that he should be doing just what is necessary and no more. He uses 40-50% new wood maximum. The wines are bright, pure, focused, aromatic and elegant without lacking anything in the way of stuffing.
