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'...

The 2020 Aloxe-Corton La Toppe Au Vert 1er Cru has a delightful bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry and the limestone terroir lending fine delineation and freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit, gentle grip, quite structured towards the peppery finish (thanks to the 40% whole bunch) but eases off on the aftertaste.
