Thibault Liger-Belair Estate – The Art of Winemaking in Burgundy and Beaujolais

A Domaine Bridging Tradition and Innovation

Thibault Liger-Belair Estate embodies the excellence and boldness of Burgundy’s finest wines. A descendant of a winemaking family dating back to the 18th century, Thibault Liger-Belair took over the family estate in 2001 with a clear vision: to produce authentic wines that respect both terroir and nature. Committed to biodynamic viticulture, he crafts cuvées that balance depth with elegance.

Prestigious Terroirs in Burgundy and Beaujolais

The estate spans exceptional vineyard plots in the Côte de Nuits, including Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, Richebourg Grand Cru, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, and Chambolle-Musigny. Each parcel is carefully cultivated to express its unique character through precise, harmonious wines. Expanding beyond Burgundy, Thibault Liger-Belair also ventured into Beaujolais, working with vineyards in Moulin-à-Vent, applying the same rigorous standards as for his esteemed Pinot Noirs.

A Biodynamic Approach and Precision Winemaking

Certified organic since 2005, the estate employs biodynamic methods to preserve soil vitality and wine purity. The vineyards are plowed by horse, and treatments use only natural preparations. All grapes are hand-harvested, with meticulous sorting before vinification. In the cellar, fermentations occur with native yeasts, and oak barrel aging is carefully tailored to each parcel, allowing the full complexity of the terroirs to shine.

Wines of Power and Elegance

The wines of Thibault Liger-Belair Estate are celebrated for their perfect balance of strength and finesse. The Nuits-Saint-Georges wines showcase silky tannins with dark fruit and spice notes. The Richebourg Grand Cru, with its extraordinary depth, delivers remarkable aromatic richness and an impressive finish. Meanwhile, the Moulin-à-Vent wines stand out for their intensity and aging potential, proving that Gamay can rival even the finest Pinot Noirs.
