Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru

Aux Charmes

This plot spans 0.30 hectares and was planted in 1954. It is located in the upper part of the Charmes-Chambertin terroir, known as "Aux Charmes," which is the origin of the name of this terroir.

Bordering the Route des Grands Crus between Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, the plot is situated opposite the boundary between Latricières Chambertin and the renowned Chambertin. Its unique geology, composed of Jurassic marls and limestones, produces a wine with exceptional finesse and generosity.

They typically retain a high proportion of whole bunches (around 70%) to enhance the tension and freshness of this climate. The grapes are hand-harvested, with 70% of whole bunches included, and fermentation lasts for three weeks, utilizing a very gentle extraction process. For aging, 50% of the wine is placed in new oak barrels for 20 months.

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.
