Detailed Description
Made from gloriously old vines, `Aux Reignots` is a Pinot Noir with elegant flinty notes, with beautiful richness and power. In many respects, Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is a very recent wine estate, created at the beginning of the year 2000 by Count Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, agricultural engineer and oenologist, who took over the running of the select vineyard parcels remaining in the hands of the family. Yet it is in fact a domaine with over 200 years of family tradition at the service of the vines and wines of Burgundy and Vosne-Romanée in particular. The 2008 vintage is offered here in fabulous Magnum format.
Producer Information
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, founded in 2000, is a relatively new wine producer in Burgundy, although the Liger-Belair family have owned vineyards in Vosne-Romanée since 1815. The domaine makes a range of grand and premier cru wines from vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanée, with the tiny monopole of La Romanée providing Comte Liger-Belair’s flagship wine.Louis Liger-Belair, a former general in Napoleon’s army, acquired a vineyard holdings during the state sell-off of estates confiscated under the French Revolution – including the impressive Château de Vosne-Romanée. The Liger-Belairs held a good portion of land in the southern Côte de Nuits in the 19th Century, owning La Romanée and La Tâche as well as large portions of Clos de Vougeot and Chambertin, and a handful of premier cru vineyards.Much of the land was sold off in 1933 under Burgundy’s complicated Napoleonic inheritance laws. What was left was farmed out to local vignerons and the wares sold to negociants.
