2019 Georges Lignier et Fils, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

G. Lignier wines offer all that one could ever ask for from red Burgundy – intoxicating aromatics, that effortless sense of power with an almost weightless – lip-smacking, saline acidity and a silky texture that ensures bottles disappear quickly. Here’s a high-toned, dark-fruited, mineral, tensile Grand Cru for the ages. The riper ’19 vintage is set for a long life ahead of it in the cellar.
