Thibault Liger-Belair took over the family domaine in 2001, re-establishing a historic Nuits-Saint-Georges estate whose roots trace back several generations within one of Burgundy’s most recognised families. While distinct from the Vosne-Romanée branch of the Liger-Belair lineage, Thibault has built his domaine with a clear, independent identity, steadily expanding holdings through both inheritance and carefully selected parcels. Today the estate spans key sites across the Côte de Nuits and Beaujolais, reflecting his dual focus on Pinot Noir and Gamay, and his interest in expressing site across different terroirs. He farms organically, with biodynamic principles increasingly informing vineyard work, and places strong emphasis on vine health, soil vitality, and precise harvest timing. In the cellar, his approach is deliberate and restrained, often incorporating whole bunch fermentation, favouring gentle extraction, and adapting élevage to each cuvée to balance structure with clarity of fruit and terroir expression.
Clos des Perrières la Combe is a distinctive Aligoté cuvée sourced from a walled parcel in Nuits-Saint-Georges, planted on limestone rich soils that mirror the structure and minerality more commonly associated with the village’s red wines. This is a serious expression of the variety, treated with the same attention as the domaine’s Pinot Noir, with careful pressing, fermentation in barrel, and extended lees ageing. The wine shows bright citrus and green apple fruit layered with saline tension and subtle reduction, balanced by a broader texture and a persistent, chalk driven finish that speaks clearly of its terroir.
