2020 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Domaine George Lignier

Clos de la Roche, Burgundy, France

Situated in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine Georges Lignier is a fifth-generation family estate with a rich Burgundian heritage. Under the stewardship of Benoît Stehly, great-nephew of Georges Lignier, the domaine has become known for its classical, terroir-expressive Pinot Noir. With over 16 hectares of prime vineyard holdings, including several prestigious Grand Crus such as Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, and Bonnes-Mares, the estate blends traditional techniques with a deep respect for nature and site

The 2020 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is the crown jewel in the estate’s lineup, sourced from one of Burgundy’s most powerful and complex Grand Cru sites. Clos de la Roche, situated in Morey-Saint-Denis, is renowned for its ability to deliver both muscular structure and aromatic elegance, and Lignier’s interpretation is a masterclass in balance and restraint.

In the glass, this wine reveals an alluring bouquet of black cherry, wild berries, violet, and crushed rose petals, wrapped in earthy notes of graphite, forest floor, and subtle spice. The palate is intense and multi-layered, with a core of ripe, dark fruit framed by firm yet velvety tannins and a vibrant mineral tension. It carries both the density of the vintage and the precision for which the domaine is known, building toward a long, stately finish that echoes with power and poise.

The 2020 Clos de la Roche is a wine of great stature and longevity, one that will benefit from cellaring over the next two decades, yet already hints at its profound complexity. A truly grand expression of Grand Cru Burgundy, from a domaine that consistently delivers wines of soul and substance.
