About this winery
Thibault Liger-Belair comes from a great winemaking family that has deep roots in Burgundy: he is a direct descendant of the Napoleonic General Louis Liger-Belair, who acquired the Chateau de Vosne in 1815 when he married Ludovie Marey, whose family had been Burgundy negociants since 1720. Youthful, passionate and always full of ideas, Thibault trained as an oenologist, but had his start in the wine industry as a wine buyer. He is also a former rugby player with a genuine 'down to earth'...

Product notes
This cuvee comes from a blend between some wine from 60 % Maconnais in the area of Lugny and 40% Montagny. The wines from Lugny with the limestone give some freshness and some minerality of structure; we can find some aromas of citrus, grapefruit and white roses. The wines from Montagny give some note of ripe pear and peach. In the mouth, the wine is always fresh, young at heart, frisky, alluring, and rich in spicy back-flavours.
Tasting notes
This wine has a pretty yellow flower and albumen-tinged bouquet that feels quite precise. The well-defined palate offers tangerine and custard creams on the entry, a fine bead of acidity and a lovely, white-chocolate-tinged finish.
