Floor and Ceiling, Same House
Same hands, same year — France's smallest grand cru beside its village sibling. Two monopoles of Comte Liger-Belair, both 2006, opened side by side after twenty years: the domaine's starting point against its summit.

4 notes
The Slope Above La Romanée
Aux Reignots sits directly above La Romanée on thin, stony ground near the top of the Vosne slope — a premier cru that in most hands would be a grand cru. From the domaine that owns the monopole below it, in a hot year that suited the altitude.
Twelve Hundred Bottles from the Village Line
A third of a hectare at the northern edge of Nuits-Saint-Georges, close enough to the Vosne border that the wine keeps getting described in terms of the other commune. Leased since 2006, and the only wine the domaine makes outside its home village.
The Dovecote Below the Château
A village Vosne-Romanée that sits directly under the family château, on old vines and heavy clay. Opened alongside a La Tâche and a vintage Krug, it had no business holding its own — and it held its own.
