The Hidden Gem of Liger-Belair. An Ultra-Rare White. While Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is world-famous for its Pinot Noir, true connoisseurs know that the estate produces a tiny quantity of Chardonnay from its Monopole vineyard in Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Identifiable by its signature gold capsule, this is one of the rarest white wines in the Côte de Nuits.

The Vineyard: Clos des Grandes Vignes (Monopole) This 1er Cru Monopole is not just for red wine. A small parcel of Chardonnay vines is cultivated here with the same biodynamic precision as the reds. It offers a unique expression of the terroir—combining the weight of the Nuits-Saint-Georges soil with the elegance of the Liger-Belair style.

The Vintage: 2022 A generous and radiant vintage. The 2022 Blanc is rich and texturally profound. It balances the solar ripeness of the fruit with a saline, mineral backbone that keeps the wine energetic and focused.

Tasting Profile

  • The Nose: A luxurious bouquet of white peach, pear, acacia flowers, and fresh brioche, underpinned by notes of toasted hazelnuts and vanilla from careful aging in French oak.

  • The Palate: Opulent and creamy. It coats the palate with layers of ripe orchard fruit and pastry cream, finishing with a vibrant tension and a long, saline aftertaste.

  • The Style: Think of it as a "Meursault meets Nuits-Saint-Georges"—rich, savory, and undeniably aristocratic.


Why It’s a Unicorn

  • ⚪ The "White" Liger-Belair: The estate produces very few white wines, making this a trophy for completist collectors.

  • 📉 Micro-Production: Sourced from a tiny plot of Chardonnay, production is significantly lower than the red counterpart.

  • 🦁 The Liger-Belair Touch: Even in white, Louis-Michel's signature "infusion" style creates a texture of pure silk.


Serving Guide

  • Temperature: Serve cool at 12-14°C. (Do not over-chill).

  • Glassware: Large Burgundy or Montrachet glass.

  • Pairing: Lobster thermidor, Bresse chicken with cream sauce, or Comté cheese.
