Description

Georges Lignier is a cousin of Hubert, and while the two estates are clearly separate operations, they do share some of the greatest vineyards in and around Morey-Saint-Denis. That may be where the similarities end, as the delicate, subtle and seductive qualities of Domaine Georges Lignier are a fascinating contrast to the more intense and structured wines of Hubert Lignier. The Domaine is led by Benoit Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, who worked at the Domaine for a decade alongside his uncle, before assuming control of the work in both the vineyard and the cellar in 2008. His approach is very traditional, as he seeks to achieve maximum aromatic concentration, above nearly all other characteristics, including structural or colour concentration. To achieve this, techniques such as a slightly later harvest and 80% destemming are employed. At the Villages level, the wines are raised in older barrels, while the 1er Crus see 30% new oak, and the Grand Crus 50% new oak. A vein of seductive elegance runs throughout the full range of wines, inviting a complex and beautiful conversation with each glass. The sensitive palate will thoroughly enjoy this approach, a statement of respect for the grandest of traditions in Burgundy and a sublime expression of the terroir underlying some of the most renowned sites in the Cote de Nuits, an average vine age of over 50 years across the Domaine, should catch the attention of anyone who appreciates Burgundy.

Garnet red in colour. The bouquet shows red fruit and earth aromas are dominated by exotic spicy high notes of clove and cinnamon. The palate shows cranberry and dusty spice flavors complicated by sexy underbrush. Well-integrated oak note and refined tannic structure with a long finish. Great balance between firm tannins and soft jammy fruits, balanced by fresh acidity.
