My first visit to Beaune included a visit to Louis-Michel Liger-Belair. It was a fantastic visit, unlike any other I have experienced before. Louis-Michel spent the first half speaking about the history of the winery, his family and their traditions. It was fascinating listening to how his wines have evolved over the different generations.
The tasting itself took place in the cellar, and with a glass in hand, we walked around the barrels and tasted directly out of them. He took time to explain about each wine, explaining with passion and excitement. He also allowed us to taste from his personal barrel, where he stores wine that will not make it onto the market. Although he keeps some for himself, he offers the bottles of this particular wine to charity auctions, helping them raise more money. He also said that since this wine is not on the regular market, it allows him to experiment with it.
