"[...] In Dijon, no one knows what to do to take care of me! Not only will I be housed as I expected, on the Palais Royal in the little town hotel that Perrot sold for a 35,000# profit, but his warehouse exists, flourishes, grows, makes jealous, satisfies the most discerning palates, has 15,000# worth of wines, and will always exist [...]". - Ligier family, 11 letters. "[...] I am sending this package to Dijon where you are certainly not because you and your dear sister must be in Saint Jean de Losne [...] asking you to convey my respects first to my good friend, your tender wife, and then to your father, who will find the harvest too ugly this year [...]. Please be assured that we will not save our good wine for a better occasion [...]". Côte d'Or: see also n°361 to 368
