Hautes Côtes De Nuits
Le Clos Du Prieuré
This vineyard spans 1.1 hectares and was planted in 1986 on the heights of the Côte de Nuits in the area of Arcenant, located 10 kilometers west of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
The plot faces south and features a steep slope of approximately 40% at an altitude of 450 meters. The soil is composed of white marls and limestone similar to those found in Corton Charlemagne.
This is the last plot to be harvested as it requires more time to reach its full maturity.
The grapes are hand-harvested, with 50% of whole bunches included, and fermentation lasts for three weeks with a very gentle extraction process. For ageing, 30% of the wine is placed in new oak barrels for 18 months.

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.
