About Winery
Domaine Coche-Dury, based in Meursault, Burgundy, is one of the most revered producers of white Burgundy. The estate was founded in the 1920s by Léon Coche, who purchased vineyard plots and initially sold grapes to négociants while bottling a small amount himself. In 1964, his son Georges Coche took over his share of the vineyards, expanding holdings and strengthening the domaine. Georges’s son Jean-François Coche assumed control in 1973, and with his wife (whose surname, Dury, was added to the domaine’s name), he transformed Coche-Dury into a cult estate. Known for meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and precise winemaking, Jean-François elevated the domaine’s reputation to global acclaim, especially for its Chardonnay from Meursault, Corton-Charlemagne, and other Côte de Beaune sites. In 1999, the domaine suffered a notable setback when a helicopter crash damaged part of its Corton-Charlemagne vines, but it continued to thrive. Today, Jean-François’s son Raphaël Coche has joined the estate, ensuring continuity of its legendary style and status as one of Burgundy’s most sought-after producers.

About Winery
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, based in Vosne-Romanée in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, traces its origins to 1815 when General Louis Liger-Belair, a decorated officer under Napoleon, acquired the Château de Vosne and extensive vineyard holdings, including the famed La Romanée. Over the 19th century, the domaine grew to encompass some of Burgundy’s most prestigious crus, but inheritance divisions and sales gradually reduced its size. For much of the 20th century, the family’s vineyards were cultivated but vinified and bottled by others, leaving the Liger-Belair name absent from wine labels. In 2000, Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, an agricultural engineer and oenologist, reestablished the domaine under its own label, reviving the family’s winemaking tradition. Today, Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is celebrated for its biodynamic practices and exceptional wines from Vosne-Romanée’s most illustrious terroirs, including La Romanée, Reignots, and Clos du Château.
