Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair

Vosne-Romanee, Cotes-de-Nuits, Bourgogne Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair was created at the beginning of the year 2000 by Count Louis-MichelLiger-Belair, agricultural engineer and oenologist, bringing together the vineyards in the family. The estate had over 200 years of family tradition atthe service of the vines and wines of Burgundy in general and Vosne- Romanée in particular.

“As long as man seeks to correct nature instead of listening to it, following it and helping it, he will be in the path of error” Chevalier de Boisdeffre - 1788

The Domaine follows the following philosophy regards its winemaking:

The quality of the wine lies in the vineyard (95% of the work is in the vineyard, 5% in the vat house).

All vines and all wines deserve the same care, from a village appellation to a Grand Cru. In a qualitative goal, it is without any doubt more important toreduce yields on the simplest appellations than on the most prestigious ones.

The vine is a living being. It should not suffer, nor should the grapes it carries, be subject to that we ourselves would not tolerate.

In the vat house and cellar, the less we do, the better we do.

We should aim to over extract grapes. Anything that does not come naturally (tannins, colour) cannot be fixed permanently in the wines and will thus not be stable in the bottle in the long term.
