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'...

Thibault Liger-Belair has been making this wine under his négociant label since 2005. The 2018 was fermented with 40% whole bunches and aged in 60% new wood and is a classically sinewy, chewy Corton with some clove spice, damson and red cherry fruit and ageworthy underlying structure. Needs more time in bottle, but that's the terroir speaking.
