Liger Belair La Romanee 2011 1.5L

Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair La Romanée 2011 in magnum is a scarce large-format Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the tiny La Romanée monopole in Vosne-Romanée. It is a bottle aimed squarely at collectors of top Burgundy and rare-format cellar pieces.

From the Producer

Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair traces its Vosne-Romanée roots to 1815, when Napoleonic general Louis Liger-Belair acquired the Château de Vosne, and the modern estate was re-founded in 2000 by Comte Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, an agricultural engineer and oenologist who farms the domaine's vineyards biodynamically. La Romanée is the domaine's sole-owned monopole in Vosne-Romanée and, at 0.8452 hectares, the smallest Grand Cru appellation in Burgundy and the smallest AOC in France, making every vintage a scarce release.
