Nestled in the heart of the Burgundy region, Vosne-Romanée is renowned for producing some of the world's most exquisite wines. For Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, this village holds a special place in his heart as his family has been a part of the community for over two centuries. Now, Liger-Belair and his wife Constance have opened "La Cuverie by Comte Liger-Belair," a new hub for wine enthusiasts that showcases the best of Vosne-Romanée and in an effort to revive the essence of Vosne-Romanée and promote tourism in the region.
This innovative 600 square meter complex overlooks the Clos du Château vineyard and features a post office, light organic grocery shop, guest house, cafe, and wine bar. The space is designed to be a lively, multi-purpose place where locals and tourists alike can come together to enjoy the many delights of the region. The wine bar offers over 1,300 different wines now, 2000 at the end of this year, all locally-produced and certified organic or biodynamic. The food store and cafe feature original furniture made by local craftsmen, showcasing the region's commitment to preserving traditional techniques.
For Liger-Belair, the project is about more than just creating a new business. It's about contributing to the revitalization of the region and supporting the local community. "Yes, we are in a desertification environment, just like other areas in France," he says. "But we have a lot, a lot of tourists because Vosne has an extremely high reputation worldwide. We have people coming from 100 kilometers, 600 kilometers, and even 6000 kilometers away to visit Vosne-Romanée. I think it's a pity that someone who traveled 6000 kilometers or even 100 kilometers can't easily have a glass of Vosne-Romanée wine in Vosne-Romanée."
The project is part of Liger-Belair's wider vision for the region. By creating a vibrant and thriving community hub, he hopes to promote the region to the rest of the world and attract more tourists to Vosne-Romanée. "For 200 years, the village has been supporting our family, and it's only natural for us to give back," he says. "The 'La Cuverie by Comte Liger-Belair' project is a testament to our commitment to preserving the essence of Vosne-Romanée and promoting the region to the rest of the world."
Since its opening, "La Cuverie by Comte Liger-Belair" has quickly become a popular place for local wine producers, enthusiasts, and tourists to interact. Liger-Belair's vision is to create a space where people can come together to share their passion for wine, food, and culture. By revitalizing the social activities of Vosne-Romanée, he hopes to create a more vibrant and thriving community.
Liger-Belair believes in the importance of communication and connection with people, which has played a crucial role in shaping his life and vision. La Cuverie is a place for tourists and locals to connect, where they can share their passions and learn from each other. Liger-Belair's life is not just about wine; it's about art, music, family, learning from others, and traveling. He believes that being open to others and embracing diversity is vital in creating a thriving community.
La Cuverie by Comte Liger-Belair is a testament to Vosne-Romanée's rich cultural heritage and Liger-Belair's vision for its future. With its idyllic location and warm, welcoming atmosphere, this charming complex will touch the hearts of all who visit.
