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.
Georges Lignier owns a significant 1.6-hectare portion of this 6.6-hectare grand cru, divided among two parcels—one 50 years old and one 70. Warmly spicy on the nose, with subtle mineral accents and deep red fruits, this offers large-scaled but vibrant and well-buffered tannins on its long and penetrating palate. (40% new oak.)
