40-50cm of clay over rock. Tends to show the elegance of the Nuits vineyards on the Vosne side to the north. 40-50% whole bunch. Dark and really quite dense, there's excellent freshness and a long sleek finesse about it. Drinking range: 2024 - 2032 L&S (Oct 2020)

(40% whole cluster). Here too there is plenty of floral character suffusing the earthier and not quite so spicy aromas of plum and red currant. The round and seductively textured medium weight flavors exude a refreshing salinity on the muscular and powerful finish where hints of rusticity and austerity arise. This is quite firmly structured and a wine that will need at least a decade to resolve the supporting tannins. Drinking range: 2029 - Rating: 88-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2021)

40% whole bunch vinification and 3 new barrels out of the 6. Medium purple, bright, with deliberately very light extraction. Ripe, deep raspberries here, on the one hand deep and lush, on the other strict and with some wood tannins. Good length and very satisfying wine. Tasted: November 2020 **** Rating: 91-93 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy  (Jan 2021)

The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges La Charmotte includes 45% whole bunch this year. It has a well-defined bouquet that displays wonderful Pinoté. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine grip and hints of marmalade toward the finish, which feels a little stern at the moment but should soften once in bottle. Drinking range: 2023 - 2035 Rating: 89-91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Dec 2020)

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.
