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'...

October 2021 (Vintage 2020)

A wine with big shoulders; it is rich, dense, tannic and a bit firm. The fruit is a touch reserved, but the potential is amply in evidence. Liger-Belair owns three-quarters of a hectare at the southern limit of the Clos. He separates the grapes into three parts: 25% on limestone at the top, a central portion on fairly deep clay, and the bottom on silt. 60% of the vines were planted in 1944 and are vinified as whole clusters; the balance is destemmed by hand.
