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'...

This 0.4ha, domaine-owned parcel of vines on the northern edge of Nuits is located right below the premiers crus and was planted in 1962. Nearly half of the grapes were fermented as whole bunches and gently pumped over, before ageing in cask with a high proportion of new barrels. The result, however, is silky and fresh, with raspberry fruit and a floral edge. Elegant and very fine.
