The Marey and Liger-Belair families have been involved with the vineyards, sale, and trade of Burgundian wines for well over a century, but it was not until 2001 that Thibault Liger-Belair created Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair to exploit the family's historic and noteworthy vineyards. Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair's portfolio of domaine wines (vineyards owned by the estate) covers ten wines from six different appellations, including Vosne-Romanée (the Richebourg Grand Cru and Aux Réas), Vougeot (the Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot), Nuits-Saint-Georges (Premier Cru Les Saint-Georges and the La Charmotte site) and Gevrey-Chambertin (the La Croix des Champs vineyard). The estate also makes a Bourgogne Aligoté. In all, the domaine owns around seven hectares (17 acres) of vineyard land. It also makes wines from a range of grower vineyards in the appellations of Corton, Aloxe-Corton, and Chambolle-Musigny, and Moulin-à-Vent in Beaujolais. The domaine vineyards are organically certified and biodynamically farmed. Grapes are hand harvested and sorted on arrival in the chai and are generally destemmed with minimal pumpovers\/pigeage during fermentation. However, Thibault Liger-Belair's vinification process can differ from year to year, to year. The wines tend to be aged on their lees in barrel for at least one year and are never fined or filtered. The Liger-Belair family has a long and storied history in Burgundy and Thibault is the cousin of the Vicomte Liger-Belair in Vosne-Romanée. In 2001 (a year after the Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair was founded), Thibault established his domaine in Nuits-Saint-Georges and took back family vineyards that had previously been leased or sharecropped to other estates.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-08-17T17:47:37-04:00","created_at":"2023-08-16T15:38:22-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK1608","Other_Wine","Producer_Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair","Region_Burgundy","Source_VendorEmail0823","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Pinot Noir"],"price":123000,"price_min":123000,"price_max":123000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43320043536522,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair | Les Saint-Georges","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":123000,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/25_7dd20fe4-2f2e-4c1c-9c83-40da935be849.jpg?v=1692215064"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/25_7dd20fe4-2f2e-4c1c-9c83-40da935be849.jpg?v=1692215064","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair | Les Saint-Georges at CaskCartel.com","id":24943972286602,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.432,"height":1024,"width":442,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/25_7dd20fe4-2f2e-4c1c-9c83-40da935be849.jpg?v=1692215064"},"aspect_ratio":0.432,"height":1024,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/25_7dd20fe4-2f2e-4c1c-9c83-40da935be849.jpg?v=1692215064","width":442}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2018 | Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair | Les Saint-Georges\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine has a nose with a beautiful mineral definition, with hints of sous-bois underneath the black fruit.
