Thibault Liger-Belair

The Liger-Belair estate dates to 1720 and is located in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Thibault is the latest generation of this noble family who took over the family business in 2003, he is cousin to Vicomte Liger Belair of Vosne-Romanée. Thibault put in place sustainable viticulture, brought back the use of horses to work the vineyards and employs minimal
intervention in the cellar to let the wines speak of their sense of place. They have 9 hectares over 11 appellations in Burgundy including grand crus Richebourg and Clos de Vougeot. Thibault’s love of Beaujolais has inspired him to make wines from Beaujolais cru Moulin à Vent and blending Gamay and Pinot Noir in his Bourgogne Rouge, Les Deux Terres, meaning two lands, a marriage of Beaujolais and Burgundy.
