Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
- Red
- Pinot Noir
About Georges Lignier & Fils
The domaine is led by Benoit Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, who worked at the domaine for a decade alongside his uncle, before assuming control of the work in both the vineyard and the cellar in 2008.
The domaine owns a mere tenth of a hectare of Pinot Noir planted in the early 1960s in this relatively large grand cru. This Charmes-Chambertin gives the impression of small-berried fruit, with a subtly mineral-inflected palate of taut tension and somewhat firm tannins; patience will be rewarded here. (50% new oak.)
