Labor Vines :
The vineyards are plowed the old way, by horse : the main advantage of using the horse is limiting soil compaction. The problem of settlement being determined in part, the Count decided to address biological control and the volume of copper made in the vineyard. In fact, copper has a toxic effect on soil life, and it is important to reduce this volume. The Liger Belair domain is tending to biological control, especially on end of season treatment. New formulations of biologics are used to reduce the concentration of copper, allowing Louis-Michel Liger Belair to consider moving in biological control in the years to come.

Winemaking :
For Louis-Michel Liger Belair wine quality is belonging to the vine for 95%, the remaining 5% is not a recipe but applying some simple principles and dose of intuition and understanding of each vintage. The grapes are harvested and transported quickly to the winery in small boxes of 14 kilos maxi perforated, in order to avoid crushing the grapes. Then the grapes are manually sorted on arrival in the winery on a sorting table by a team of 8 sorters and are picked off in full and sent in tanks by conveyor belts. Grape integrity is well respected because it is never pumped nor kneaded.
