Red Wine: 2020 | Georges Lignier | Clos de la Roche

Ruby Color. Very fruity bouquet reminiscent of walnuts, violets and of great power. Aroma of damp wood, cherries. This grand cru is often the most structured of the wines from the terroirs of Morey-Saint-Denis, which gives it a more rustic side in the tannins and allows it to age longer than the others.

Producer Information

Domaine Georges Lignier is a Burgundy domaine based in Morey-Saint-Denis, known for its wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Founder Georges is a cousin of Hubert Lignier and their two estates have similar and similarly impressive vineyard holdings, though the Georges Lignier wines has been described as being more delicate and subtle. Since 2008, Georges’ estate has been run by Benot Stehly, his nephew. George Lignier’s prestigious vineyard portfolio includes over a hectare of Clos de la Roche, a smaller portion of Bonnes Mares, and nearly 1.5 hectares (4 acres) of Clos Saint-Denis, making it the largest owner in that vineyard. In all there is 16ha (40 acres) of vineyards across 17 appellations, divided between 50 parcels. Winemaking is generally described as traditional. The fruit is picked slightly later than average and typically 80 percent destemmed. Village wines are matured in used oak, premier cru wines see 30 percent new oak, and grand cru wines see about 50 percent new oak. More recent vintages have been bottled without fining or filtration.
