In a completely classic position, these vines are right under the windmill which gives this 'cru' its name. Rocky soil, pink granite. really mineral and lively. Flow of black fruit, red fruit, truffle, but above all drive and freshness, a need to get there. Gorgeous. L&S (Dec 2012)

A dense and ripe nose features black raspberry liqueur, pepper and floral hints that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is also a bit of wood framing the notably mineral-driven big-bodied flavors that are vibrant, muscular and brooding, all wrapped in a seriously long and highly complex finish. This is really very good and should also amply reward mid-term cellaring. 2019+ Rating: 90 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2014)
The fruit is sweet with more red fruits than black and the palate has a fleshy suppleness on the start. The mid palate is fresher and the red fruits give a lighter feel on the finish. 2014-19 Rating: 89 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)
Racy and smooth and dense. Chewy. Really racy. Dry finish. 2015-2022 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2013)
Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair, Beaujolais
Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair have purchased eight prime parcels of vines in Moulin-a-Vent. The grapes were sold off in 2008 because they felt it took more than just one year working with the vines to get them to perform. 'My objective was not to buy a domaine, but to buy vineyards in different spots. What is very important for me', says Liger-Belair,'is to showcase the difference between each type of granite and each exposure.' Two refrigerated trucks a day delivered fruit to be pressed in Nuits-Saint-Georges (all destemmed in the 2009 vintage and only gently pumped over to 'infuse', never punched down) and raised in used barriques.
