Sadly the 2017 is the last vintage of this, as the owner is taking it back. What a shame, as it is really impressive! Inviting feel on the attack, with nicely ripe fruit. Good weight to it and nice flowing shape. Just a scrape of texture from some appetising mineral dusting. The up-front fruit is lovely soft strawberry and raspberry - but there is a darker line too, running through it, a shadow of more serious power. Fine-grained texture. Drinking range: 2019 - 2029 L&S (Nov 2018)

(from Les Beaux Bruns, Les Gamaires, Les Fremières, Les Fouchères and Les Mal Carrées; 40% whole cluster). Firm reduction renders the nose unreadable today. The sleek if relatively light weight flavors possess a lovely mouthfeel before concluding in a delicious, youthfully austere and nicely complex finish that is punctuated by a hint of bitter cherry pit. Drinking range: 2024 - Rating: 88-90 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2019)
A blend of five different parcels, the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village shows a bit of reduction on the nose. It eventually opens, offering bright red berry fruit with light stemmy notes from the 40% whole clusters. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, not complex but focused, showing good grip toward the bright, expressive wild strawberry and raspberry finish. Probably early-drinking but well worth seeking out. Drinking range: 2020 - 2026 Rating: 88-90 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2019)
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.
