Awards/Ratings
Highly rated by critics; World of Fine Wine reported the 2020 Aux Reignots barrel sample at 96–97 points for its density, perfume and length. (See reviews and tasting notes)

Tasting Note
Perfumed dark cherry, black raspberry and violet with spice and flinty minerality; rich, fleshy and refined, with fresh acidity, firmly fine tannins and a long, floral-scented finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, beef bourguignon, lamb rack, mushroom risotto. Asian: Peking duck, miso‑glazed black cod, Korean BBQ (bulgogi), soy‑glazed pork or shiitake and sesame dishes.

Production Method
Organically farmed and biodynamic vines; low-intervention fermentation (native yeasts), élevage in French oak (significant new oak for top cuvées) with extended barrel ageing.

Vineyard Info
Domaine du Comte Liger‑Belair, family estate since 1815, converted to biodynamic viticulture (since 2008) under Louis‑Michel Liger‑Belair; holds substantial Aux Reignots parcels and ages wines to highlight terroir.
