Georges is a cousin to the more famous Hubert Lignier, and both are imported by Rosenthal. However the wines of this estate are much more of the elegant, aromatic style than the big, brooding wines of Hubert. More Chambolle-like than Gevrey.
What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...
The parcel of vines, which Domaine Lignier has been cultivating since 2003, is located north of the village of Marsannay, in a location known as “En La Verde”, facing directly east. This very broad valley has brought a lot of stones to the clay-limestone soil, making it well-draining, which is excellent for grape-growing. The valley also brings in a lot of wind, creating a healthy climate for the grapes. Raised 18 months in used barrels, this wine is fruity with a pleasant touch of animal notes.
