Clos de la Roche Grand Cru George Lignier 2016

From one of the most highly reputed appellations situated in the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte-d'Or, George Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is impeccable with an abundance of richness and muscular fruits rounding off with a complex, finely composed finish. A hedonistic treat worthy of any Burgundy lover's attention, and one to keep in the cellar for many years to come.

"More protected from cold wind than Clos St-Denis. Less elegant and more powerful than his Clos St-Denis. More Morey, he says. Shaded ruby. Sweet and sumptuous on the nose. Very rich and lively with strong fruity notes – raspberries? Taffeta texture. No monster! ‘It’s still mine’, says winemaker Benoît Stehly. Good mineral finish. Very clean." - 18 Pts, Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com
