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 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.
