2002 Domaine Xavier Liger‑Belair Gevrey‑Chambertin Réserve

The domaine’s village-level cuvée from the first vintage under the Liger‑Belair estate revival. Made entirely from hand-harvested Pinot Noir in the Gevrey‑Chambertin appellation, it represents early efforts by the estate—led by Thibault Liger‑Belair—to restore the family’s winemaking legacy using fruit from sustainably managed, old vines. The 2002 vintage itself was notable for delivering medium-bodied wines with purity of fruit, fine acidity, and elegant structure typical of Gevrey‑Chambertin in cooler years
