Reductive when I tasted, but there is still lots here. Sweet, precise, vinous undergrowth and red fruit. Eaux de vie flavours in finish - kirsch, plum - very fresh. L&S (Dec 2009)

Good deep red. Spicy, high-pitched aromas of black cherry, violet and crushed rock. Rich, lush and sweet, with a pliant middle palate given grip and an impression of density by a saline, iodiney quality to its dark fruit and stone flavors. I imagined a note of squid ink! A very serious village wine: the calcaire has the effect of coating the tongue and giving the wine a tannic impression. Rating: 89-91 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2010)

This has a fragrant, well-defined nose with lively red-berried fruit, bright red cherries and strawberry interlaced with crushed stones. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, great balanced and focus, real femininity here with a taut, beautifully defined finish. Very fine. 2010-2020 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2010)

Racy Vosne fruit and lushness and some real excitement here. Well done! 2012-2018 Rating: 17.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2010)

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.
