This streams across the palate with perky red fruited aromatics and is salty and lovely. Underpinned with quite a powerful mineral drive - but dominated by pops of pert red fruit. Great feel - no whole bunch as the rock adds enough freshness. Smart - lively and full of intent. Its wines like this that make people love Vosne Romanée. L&S (Nov 2024)

A classic Vosne nose freely offers up a layered array of spice and exotic tea elements on the cool red berry and soft wood scents. Once again the beautifully textured and generously proportioned middle weight flavors aren’t especially dense but there is nonetheless good depth and a lovely minerality on the firm, serious and youthfully austere finale. This is an excellent villages and worth your interest. Drinking range: 2031 - Rating: 90-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2025)

The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas was quite backward on the nose because it was aged in the old cellar in the center of the village. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasantly sweet, slightly candied entry, though it just lacks a bit of body toward the finish. Hopefully it will gain weight during its second winter.

This is destemmed as always. Mid purple with some red raspberry. Something a fraction lactic here, Thibault thinks, but if so it is minimal for me and does not distract. The fruit deepens on the palate, more raspberry with a little cherry, and excellent length. This is growing steadily in the glass.

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.
