Vosne-Romanée, France
Settled in the heart of Vosne-Romanée since 1815, the Comtes Liger-Belair decided to create a Place de Vie in 2022, open to all, with the aim of meeting the expectations of all those who live in Vosne-Romanée:
village residents, the Domaines viticoles and their employees,
visitors to the village, whether from near or far.
They have therefore imagined a space combining an organic and/or local grocery store, a café, a post office, a wine bar, guest rooms and a seminar room.
A unique place, in the heart of the Vosne-Romanée vineyards, with a simple ambition: to enable anyone who has traveled 10, 100 or 10,000 kilometers to discover Vosne-Romanée to enjoy a glass of Vosne-Romanée at Vosne-Romanée…
But also many other wines from Burgundy and elsewhere, with a common theme: organic or biodynamic viticulture and respect for the living, in a selection of over 1700 references at low prices, so that the winegrower, who is at the origin of everything, retains most of the margin from his work.
