Compared to the lush richness of the Rognets, this is more compact and unshowy, but then has more energy and drive. Powerfully long. L&S (Dec 2008)

Medium red. High-toned exotic fruits, smoked meat, mocha and game on the liqueur-like nose. At once suave and firm, with terrific complexity to its spicy dark fruit flavors. This is 14% natural alcohol but does not come off as warm or heavy. On the contrary, it's a chewy, crunchy wine with a serious backbone for aging. If Rognet should be premier cru, as Liger-Belair suggests, this has real grand cru depth. Rating: 90-93 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2009)
Serious though not flashy. Very sweet with lots of pleasure. Rather rich, alcoholic finish. 2012-2017 Rating: 17.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2009)
Here the nose is much more animale in character with fresh wild red raspberry and pinot fruit aromas that are also notably earthy in character that are followed by rich, round, serious and solidly constructed full-bodied flavors that possess significantly better depth and length. This is very primary and will need time to harmonize. 2015+ Rating: 89-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2009)
Thibault Liger-Belair Successeurs
The lack of the word 'domaine' in the name signals that this is a négociant wine from Thibault Liger-Belair. On the whole Thibault buys grapes having tended the vines with his own team, so that the wines are domaine wines in all but name.
