The 2021 Clos-Saint-Denis Grand Cru from Domaine Georges Lignier et Fils is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir that captures the elegance of this legendary vineyard. On the nose, expect delicate red fruit aromas - think cherry and raspberry - layered with subtle earthy and floral notes. The palate is silky and precise, with fine-grained tannins and a vibrant freshness that carries the fruit beautifully. Founded over hundred years ago, Georges Lignier has some of the greatest vineyards in and around Morey-Saint-Denis. Jasper Morris observes “ one of the strengths of the 16ha domaine is to have mature vineyards… replanted systematically in the 1950s with good vine material, not clones. ” The domaine is led by Benoit Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, who worked for a decade alongside his uncle, before assuming control of the work in both the vineyard and the cellar in 2008.
