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 domaine’s villages-level Gevrey-Chambertin comes from 2.3 hectares worth of 50-year-old holdings split among four parcels scattered throughout the appellation: En Vosne, En Dérée, Es Murots, and Le Forneau. Like the Morey-Saint-Denis, this spends 18 months in previously used 228-liter barrels and is vinified with around 30% of its stems. Benoit strikes a wonderful balance between appellation-typical broad, savory fruit and fresh, lifted tannins here.
