Thibault Liger-Belair has produced a superb cuvée from the “Bourgogne Gamay” appellation, where the finesse of Pinot Noir harmoniously blends with the indulgence of Gamay. This blend, aptly named “Les Deux Terres,...(read more)

Lovely nose of brambly red fruit; raspberry conserve and crushed strawberry with a touch of pepper. Palate is medium-bodied, sweet on entry with a cassis lift, then moves into tobacco and stewed berries. Smooth texture,...(read more)

From 4 hectares of vines, split between Nuits, Chambolle and the Hautes Cotes. Only three pigeage across its two week maceration. Very well structured for Bourgogne Rouge with lovely freshness and dense savoury fruit.

Aux Leurey was planted in 1937. It's the second vineyard in Premeaux (coming from Beaune) below the road, opposite Clos de l'Arlot, (and next to JJ Confuron's 'Vignottes'). Shallow soil with 20-30cm at the top and a metr...(read more)

On the south side of the village, but exposed to the north, or it would have been a Premier Cru at this level of the slope. On red clay with limestone under - like Les Borniques (which it is above) and Le Musigny, says T...(read more)
