A Heritage Steeped in Burgundy's Finest Terroir
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, though a young estate established in 2000, carries the weight of a 200-year family legacy. Their story is woven into the very fabric of Vosne-Romanée, where Louis Liger-Belair, a Napoleonic general, acquired prized vineyards during the French Revolution. This lineage culminated in Comte Louis-Michel Liger-Belair reclaiming the family heritage, crafting biodynamic Pinot Noirs that sing with elegance and power.
Aux Reignots: A Premier Cru Gem
This particular offering hails from the esteemed Aux Reignots, a Premier Cru nestled in the heart of Vosne-Romanée. Sun-drenched slopes and calcareous soils nurture Pinot Noir grapes of exceptional finesse and complexity.
Biodynamic Delicacy in the Cellar
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair embraces biodynamic principles, nurturing the land and vines with respect. Gentle horse-drawn plowing, minimal intervention, and short maceration times preserve the fruit's purity. The wines slumber in new oak barrels, slowly acquiring structure and depth without ever losing their signature vibrancy.
