From the 1933 auction to Aux Reignots in 2002

The domaine is based at the Château de Vosne-Romanée. In 1933, when all the family’s vines were sold at auction, two family members bought back La Romanée, Les Reignots and Les Chaumes. Louis-Michel Liger-Belair took over the family vines in 2000, with 1.5 ha, and added Aux Reignots and La Romanée in 2002 (1.6 ha together). The estate was converted to biodynamic growing in 2008 and certified biodynamic under the Biodyvin label in 2012.
