This vineyard covers 0.75 hectares, with 40% of the vines planted in 1992 and 60% in 1944. It is located in the southern part of the appellation, at the corner of the wall separating Echézeaux from Clos-Vougeot, in an area known as "les Baudes Basses."

The vineyard's uniqueness arises from its 200-meter-long rows that span three different soil types: a stony soil with a significant amount of clay, a soil composed of small pebbles rich in red clay and iron oxide, and a finer soil made up of clays and silts. In Burgundy, this cuvée is often described as "round" because it reflects the full spectrum of soil types found in the appellation.

The grapes are hand-harvested, including 40% whole bunches, and fermentation lasts for three weeks with a very gentle extraction. The wine is aged for 20 months, with 60% of the aging done in new oak barrels.

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.
