Peppy and nice. Juicy, grippy - but well shaped. Good bones. Ripe fruit but with just enough crunch. Sophisticated Bourgogne. L&S (Oct 2017)

Funky rich nose. Some refined oak influence. Difficult to separate the wine from the (burly) man. Rich with a memorable signature. Should please all but the most classical purist. Drinking range: 2021 - 2029 Rating: 16+ Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2018)
An exuberantly fresh array of plum, earth and pretty dark currant aromas leads to rich and surprisingly bold flavors that possess very good mid-palate density, all wrapped in a lightly stony and saline finish that is presently youthfully austere. Good stuff here and ageworthy too. Drinking range: 2020 - Rating: 86-89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2018)
(this wine does not include fruit from Marsannay or Beaune, but Liger-Belair was able to include grapes from low-altitude sites in the Chambolle-Musigny; 20% new oak; totally destemmed; no punchdowns during fermentation): Healthy dark red. Ripe scents of black cherry and leather. Fat, sweet and pliant, conveying a slightly high-toned quality (from low sulfur?) to its mouthfilling flavors of dark cherry and raspberry. This will deliver early pleasure. Rating: 87-88 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Jan 2018)
Thibault Liger-Belair Successeurs
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.
