This wine consistently exhibits great depth, impressing with its length and complexity; it is both structured and refined. While describing it often requires superlatives, sometimes it is best to let the wine speak for itself. This vineyard spans 0.52 hectares and was planted between 1931 and 1936. It is regarded as one of the greatest crus of Vosne-Romanée and is also the oldest.

Located in the historic part of Richebourg, it lies about fifty meters north of Romanée-Conti. The terroir is incredibly complex featuring a variety of clays and limestones in different forms and colors, which contribute to its unique character.

The grapes are hand-harvested, with 30% of whole bunches included, and fermentation lasts for three weeks with a very gentle extraction process. For aging, 60% of the wine is placed in new oak barrels for a period of 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.
