Productinformation
With the Moulin à Vent, Champ de Cour 2019, Domaine Thibault-Liger Belair has proven its commitment to making excellent Burgundy wines. Owned by the Liger-Belair family since 1720, this domain has a rich history of 250 years. In 2001, Thibault joined the company and took over the vineyards, transforming the domain into the renowned Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair. Before that, Thibault studied vinification and oenology in the Beaujolais at the Moulin a Ven. He also worked for a communications company in Paris. In 2001, Thibault decided to follow his true vocation and start making his own wine.
1.65 hectares of vines in the southern part of the appellation. This plot is sheltered from the prevailing north winds by the Moulin-à-Vent hill and faces south, which ensures better ripening. The soil, which is 1.5 metres deep, contains a beautiful variety of granite from the upper part of the plot, which is shaped like an amphitheatre and extends from Fleurie to Chenas. The yellow granite of Fleurie, the pink granite and quartz of Moulin-à-Vent and the blue granite or feldspar of Chenas all add different facets to the wine. The wine matures for 18 months or more in oak barrels, depending on the vintage. 100% Gamay.
