Very aromatic. An immediate taste of strawberry bon-bons fills out to a broader spectrum of fruit, backed up by a firm structure. Lovely finish. Real personality. L&S (Dec 2008)

Good bright, full red. Aromas of cherry, spices and fresh herbs project more fruit ripeness than the 2008. Densely packed, thick and sweet but sappy and quite tasty, showing plenty of early personality-and more than my early tasting from barrel would have suggested. This has the sweetness to support its serious tannins but nonetheless should be held for at least a few years. Rating: 91 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2010)
Good bright, deep red. Very closed on the nose. Then suave and fine-grained but quite high-pitched in the mouth, conveying medicinal and mineral elements and very little obvious sweetness. Finishes with rather powerful tannins that make the wine hard to taste today despite its obviously strong underlying material. Rating: 89-92 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2009)

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.
