Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Georges Lignier et Fils, 2020

A refined village Pinot Noir from this Morey-Saint-Denis family estate, drawn from parcels in Les Drazey and Les Bussières, just below 1er Cru Les Sentiers. Made in a traditional style with careful extraction and measured oak ageing, the focus is firmly on site and vintage expression.

The 2020 shows the hallmark elegance and lift of Chambolle-Musigny — pure red berry fruit, subtle spice and fine mineral tension, supported by silky tannins and fresh acidity. Approachable in youth, but with the structure for mid-term ageing.

Domaine Georges Lignier et Fils farms around 16 hectares across the Côte de Nuits, producing terroir-driven Pinot Noir from village to Grand Cru level, with a reputation for balance, clarity and finesse.
