The first vintage was produced in 2018. This vineyard spans 0.70 hectares and was planted in 1954. It is located to the south of Nuits-Saint-Georges, adjacent to the Premier Cru "Les Pruliers."

The terroir is situated within the alluvial cone of the Côte de Nuits valley, offering a deeper soil composed of fine clays rich in organic matter. There is little limestone present; instead, the soil features pebbles of iron oxide known as chailles.

For vinification, the grapes are hand-harvested, with 40% of whole bunches included. The fermentation process lasts for three weeks, utilizing a very gentle extraction method.In terms of aging, 40% of the wine is placed in new oak barrels for 18 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.
