Information
Thibault Liger-Belair took over the family domaine of Nuits-Saint-Georges in 2002, giving it its name. The domaine has been in the family since the 18th century and the trading establishments C. Marey and Comte Liger-Belair have been in existence since 1720. The vineyard spreads over a little over 7 hectares in Richebourg, Vosne-Romanée, Clos-de- Vougeot, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Gevrey-Chambertin. The greatest care is taken of the vines which are worked organically. The wines have already reached a good standard and are one of the rising values of the region, offering wines which combine fine substance and finesse.
The En Créot climat, nestled in the heart of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroir, lies at the foot of the slope to the north of the village. This more discreet locality expresses the finesse of this historic area. The Pinot Noir vines grow on clay-limestone soils mixed with marl, with a high proportion of clay. Manual harvests are followed by strict sorting to retain only the highest quality fruit. Once in the winery, the grapes ferment with native yeasts during a long, 20-day vatting period, punctuated by regular gentle punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine is then aged for 16 months in cask, with 25% new oak, on fine lees.
The ruby-red hue shows dark glints and promises an expressive bouquet. The intense nose reveals black cherry, blackberry, peppery spice and undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is ample and structured, with firm yet elegant tannins, leading into a long, mouthwatering finish.
