This cuvée represents the first production of white wine from the domain since 2011. The Chardonnay grapes are meticulously selected from the Mâconnais sub-region, particularly from Lugny, which is historically recognised as the birthplace of the first Chardonnay in Burgundy. This wine is a blend sourced from plots within the Saône-et-Loire region, specifically in the Lugny appellation.
The limestone in this soil balances the sunny character of the location, providing a refreshing quality that complements the natural richness of the wines. The average age of the vines exceeds 40 years, with a notable inclusion of"musqué" Chardonnay plants, adding originality to the wine.
The grapes are hand-harvested, followed by an extended pressing process lasting three hours. The wine is aged in stainless steeltanks for 14 months, with no oak ageing to preserve the freshness and purity of the terroir.

Thibault Liger-Bélair
Nuits-Saint-Georges
This family-owned estate has been rooted in history since the 18th century. Located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, this estate is the result of a passion for winemaking and a know-how passed down through generations.
The history of the estate begins in 1720 with Claude Marey, a squire and secretary to the king, who founded the C. Marey house to market his harvests of fine wines. His son, Claude Philibert Marey, took over the management of the business in 1781, continuing the family tradition. After Claude Philibert's death in 1804, his younger son, Guillaume Félix Marey, succeeded him and, in 1852, partnered with his son-in-law, Count Louis Liger-Belair, a owner of Grand Crus in Vosne-Romanée. This collaboration gave rise to the C. Marey and Comte Liger-Belair house.
Over the decades, the estate continued to thrive. After Guillaume Félix's death in 1869, Count Liger-Belair took the reins, followed by his son, Count Edgard Liger-Belair, in 1878. In 1906, he established the Liger-Belair and Sons Successors company with his three sons, further solidifying the family legacy.
