The Crown Above La Romanée. A "Super Premier Cru." If La Romanée is the queen of the Domaine, Aux Reignots is her crown. Located directly upslope from the legendary La Romanée Grand Cru, this Premier Cru is widely considered to possess Grand Cru quality, often outperforming its more famous neighbors in blind tastings.

The Terroir: Sky-High Minerality Aux Reignots sits high on the slope where the topsoil is incredibly thin, forcing vines to dig deep into the limestone bedrock. This specific terroir imparts a unique "verticality" to the wine—a spine of electric minerality and tension that defines the Liger-Belair expression of this vineyard.

The Producer: The Benchmark Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is the largest holder and the undisputed master of this climat. Louis-Michel Liger-Belair crafts a Reignots that is intense, ethereal, and vibrating with energy.

The Vintage: 2022 In a warm, solar vintage like 2022, the high altitude of Aux Reignots is a secret weapon. It preserves a refreshing acidity and floral lift that balances the year's ripe, opulent fruit perfectly.

Tasting Profile

  • The Nose: High-toned and aristocratic. Soaring aromas of violets, crushed rocks, graphite, and wild blueberries, framed by the Domaine's signature spicy oak.

  • The Palate: Precise and driven. While it has the silky texture typical of the producer, there is an underlying tension and mineral grip that gives the wine incredible length and aging potential.

  • The Verdict: A wine of intellectual depth and physical pleasure.

Why It’s a Unicorn

  • 📍 Prime Location: Shares the same slope and DNA as La Romanée Grand Cru.

  • 🦁 Flagship 1er Cru: Arguably the most important Premier Cru in the Liger-Belair portfolio.

  • 💎 Rare & Allocated: Like all Domaine wines, production is tiny and demand is global.
