About the Winemaker

The Bernard family has been farming since the end of the 1800s and the estate has been handed down from generation to generation. After several decades of mixed farming, it was in the 1950s that Maurice BERNARD, the grandfather, prioritized the cultivation of vines. Jacques, his only son, assisted by his wife Liliane, began to develop the wine estate by planting plots of vines to reach a total area of 50 hectares But it was not until 2008 that the first vintage of Domaine La Ligière came to life when grandson Philippe and his wife, Elizabeth, created their own winery and continued, the work undertaken by the parents by applying for Organic Agriculture certification.
