25 February 2022

On Friday, February 25, 2022, we welcomed France Bleu Bourgogne to the Domaine: a report to listen to and discover our new project...

 

"On the Champs-Élysées of the Côte-d'Or, one often feels quite alone.

Louis-Michel Liger-Belair takes the problem in hand and gives new life to his village, while making one of the most prestigious domains in the world shine.

The almost empty cellars of the domain

Under the castle of Vosne-Romanée, the cellars are not full. The cause is the numerous frost episodes of 2021.

The frost also affects the prestigious domains:
