A top producer in Vosne-Romanee, Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair owns a number of the very best vineyards in the region. When Louis-Michel Liger-Belair took back control of their family-owned lands in 2000, he successfully made the Domaine into one of the top echelons in the world of Burgundy, just behind Domaine de la Romanee Conti. Most of the bottles are sold with strictly-controlled allocation to wine connoisseurs, restaurants and merchants, making it nearly impossible to find their bottles in the open market. That being said, the availability of Liger-Belair's wines is in short supply nowadays and we are delighted to present a few bottles for...
