Deep medium red. More complex if slightly reduced aromas of wilder red and dark fruits, smoked meat and spices. Suave and silky on entry, then less expressive and sweet in the middle than the Rognets. But this broad wine opens out impressively on the back half, finishing with suave tannins, sneaky length and lingering leather and smoky perfume. This will need a bit longer to express itself than the Rognets. Rating: 90-93 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2010)

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.
