If there was such a thing as a Grand Cru in the Beaujolais, this is what it would be. Dense, rich, pure and with fantastic length, it is almost the definition of freshness in a red. L&S (Dec 2012)

A very fresh and ripe but brooding nose of violets, pepper, cassis and plenty of pungent earth only grudgingly expresses itself. The old vine concentration is very much in evidence as it completely drenches the palate yet the supple and velvety large-scaled flavors retain an excellent sense of vibrancy and detail on the forcefully long finish. If you can find this robust old-school effort, buy it. 2019+ Rating: 91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2014)
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.
