Georges Lignier & Fils Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2022 Beaujolais After the élevage

After the élevage

harvested manually

and the resultant wine always possesses an ineffable grand-cru “x-factor” and a striking sense of sappiness from the vines’ extreme age

marked by notes of ripe fruits married to a lively citrus-infused backbone: the height of elegance

Georges Lignier & Fils Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2022 Beaujolais After the élevageThe 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.)
