Domaine Georges Lignier Morey Saint-Denis 2019
Morey-Saint-Denis AOC
Loading...
From a domaine whose wines "have become finer and finer" (Jancis Robinson MW) since the arrival of Lignier's nephew, Benoît Stehly, this is a beautifully balanced, spiced-fruit Morey. Even better, it's from "a thrilling year for Pinot Noir" (WA).
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
Georges Lignier is a third-generation family domaine with enviable vineyards holdings, including the largest share of Grand Cru Clos Saint Denis. The family has a total of 16 hectares of vines, dotted over 50 premium parcels throughout Burgundy. In 2008, Georges's nephew Benoît Stehly took charge, "since which time the wines have become finer and finer" (Jancis Robinson MW). Burgundy expert Serena Sutcliffe MW concurs, “this domaine very often produces the essence of the (Pinot Noir) grape". The grapes are handpicked from two sites, Les Crais and Clos Solon, both on the lower part of the hillside. 18 months in seasoned oak barrels produces a complex wine. Let it breathe before serving with chicken with morel mushrooms. Alternatively cellar.
