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
Single parcel located in the commune of Romanàche-Thorins, planted 65 years ago. This site is predominantly clay, very different than the other sites in this cru. Clusters from Les Rouchaux have even ripening and roundness in the concentration with more elegant tannins. This makes the wine very approachable in its youth. This wine is expressive with black fruits aromas and tannins are a bit firmer than usual but will soften with time. The finish is broad and spicy, with a white pepper bite.
