As a new feature I have decided to make some all including “Producer Profiles”, that links to the most recent or important articles and notes on a producer. Hope this is convenient as it could bring forward some infos hidden in the map articles and tasting notes.
Comte Liger-Belair is sort of the origin of Winehog and therefore the natural starting point. It was at Liger-Belair it all started and it was here at this very Domaine where Winehog made its debut at a tasting with Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, Clive Coates and Roy Richards the former agent of Louis-Michel Liger-Belair.
Some very competent Burgundy tasters … and this afternoon gave me the idea to start Winehog back in 2011.
I will continue the work to strengthen organisation of the data and make it more refined. During the last 12 years, I have tasted a lot of wines and studied many books and maps covering this estat. Most of them have ended up in insight articles and in-depth comments … Burgundy is a lovely place.
Below you will find the most important articles about the estate including the very important vineyard articles.

- Les Suchots: The Flamboyant Vosne 1er CruOne of the largest and most challenging 1ers crus is Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots. Wine from this vineyard is produced by more than 100 domaines and negociants. Les Suchots is quite a diverse vineyard, with some areas showing great complexity while others have fewer of the qualities of a great terroir. Add to this producers that range ...
- Terroir Insight: Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Grands EchézeauxGrands Echzeaux is one of the more prominent grand crus which sits just below the very top tier – meaning Romanee-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée Saint-Vivant, and Musigny. It is a brilliant terroir, and is perhaps even a bit overlooked, although new producer names in this vineyard have led to increased consumer focus on ...

- Comte Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée Clos du Château – my vin d’emotionThe joy of drinking a true vin d’emotion is unparalleled. Effortless, enjoyable, and hedonistic, these are wines with great drinkability, and they’re sometimes even down-to-earth, with true glou-glou character. One of my favourite vins d’emotion is the Clos du Château from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. Only my budget limits how many of these I can consume ...
- Terroir Insight: Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Echezeaux – New plotUpdate … Louis-Michel Liger-Belair has expanded his holdings in Echezeaux from 2020 with a plot of Echezeaux du Dessus, adding to the plots he already has in Cruots ou Vignes Blanches, Champs Traversin and Clos Saint-Denis.

- Pommard Clos de la Commaraine 2018Comte Louis-Michel Liger-Belair of the Chateau de Vosne-Romanée is now helping to make wine in Pommard, having entered an agreement with the owners of Pommard’s Clos de la Commaraine to assist making the wine from this historic 3.75-ha monopole vineyard. Tasting the 2018s at Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, I had my first chance to taste the ...
- Terroir View: Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne-Romanée Les SuchotsThe Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots is in my view slowly but surely raising it’s game in the Liger-Belair lineup, after a somewhat less focused start in the 2006 vintage and the following years. Now 13 years later we see more definition and a more precise wine – now made under the biodynamic regime that was introduced in ...
- Terroir View: Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne La ColombiereThe Vosne-Romanée La Colombiere from Comte du Liger-Belair is a important wine for the estate as one of three village wines from Vosne. It’s a vivid and quite rich village, quite a contrast to the more floral and expressive Clos du Chateau. The La Colombiere have improved a lot during the latter years after the turnaround to ...
- Terroir Insight: Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Aux ReignotsOne of my favourite 1er crus of Burgundy is the Aux Reignots made by Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, a tremendous wines of a very high quality. Louis-Michel Liger-Belair controls 45% of the Aux Reignots vineyard, that extends just above his prestigious monopole La Romanee – and his quest for quality has really pushed the perception ...

This does set this vineyard on the map in a different way – first vintage is 2018. Clos de la Commaraine ...
- Terroir Insight: Comte Liger-Belair NSG Clos des Grandes VignesOne of my favorite parts of Burgundy is Premeaux – and since I seem to be the only one to think that Premeaux should have its own appellation – l think its fair to assume that it will continue to be a part of Nuits-Saint-Georges for now. I have covered many of the Premeaux monopoles, but ...
- Terroir Insight: Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne Les ChaumesVosne-Romanee Les Chaumes is a large 1er cru, and while its well know the quality produced from this vineyard is still rather mixed. As new generations take over – more and more fine examples of Les Chaumes does however reach the market. One of the best I have tasted recently is the 2015 from Domaine du ...
- Vineyard Insight: Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux LaviéresThere are a lot of interesting terroirs in the Vosne-Romanee appellation itself and in the twillight zone between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanee. This area is somewhat overlooked, but as the new generations of vignerons take on these terroirs, there are very fine wines to find from these vineyards. I have already covered the vineyards: Aux Réas Clos des Réas Aux Bas ...
- Terroir Insight: Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne Clos du ChâteauClos du Château is sort of a signature wine for Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. A very expressive Vosne Village made from a vineyard that used to be a part of the park around Château Vosne-Romanee.
