Clos-Saint-Denis Grand Cru, Domaine Georges Lignier et Fils 2021
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.
Volnay Premier Cru 'En Champans', Domaine de Montille 2023
"A complex interplay of steep, sandy limestone vineyards and marl soils delivers a wine of notable finesse. Over one-third whole cluster fermentation brings bright raspberry and crunchy cherry fruit, accented with spice and silky tannins. Balanced acidity and freshness make this a beautiful, early-access Volnay." Our note The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
