Reduction overshadows the fruit at present. Once again the middle weight flavors possess an appealing texture though here they are much finer and with more evident minerality on the youthfully austere, persistent and lingering finale. As is usually the case, this is a Nuits villages of relative refinement. Lovely. Drinking range: 2029 - Rating: 89-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2025)

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges La Charmotte has an attractive nose, quite floral in style and well defined with brambly red fruit. The palate is well balanced with a slightly candied opening, as orange pith infuses the red fruit. This is not complex but generous, with an effervescent, almost peachy finish. Drink over five or six years. Drinking range: 2026 - 2032 Rating: 88-90 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2025)
Mid crimson in colour, with a classy and indeed classic Nuits bouquet of plums and red berries, a little bit of oak, no stems. The oak returns behind, good acidity, medium plus length. A potentially good wine is being held back at the moment by a slight excess of oak, at least in this sample. If and when that recalibrates, we should be in four star territory. Drinking range: 2028 - 2033 Rating: *** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Nov 2024)
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.
