Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 94
"Bursting with aromas of cherries, rose petals, ripe berries and orange rind, the 2018 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru (négoce) is medium to full-bodied, lively and supple, its ample core of succulent fruit concealing melting tannins. Elegant and exuberant, this will drink well young. Lignier explains that the Mercier family's parcel of Griotte-Chambertin is leased to both Ponsot and Leclerc in metayage, some of which the Merciers take in grapes and sell to Laurent Lignier." -Robert Parker

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

In 2014, Hubert and Laurent sourced grapes from a 50-year-old plot in this hallowed grand cru—a total of only two barrels of wine. Of the three grand crus issuing forth from Lignier’s cellar, this is the most elegant, airy, and feminine, emphasizing higher-toned spices and floral elements in its aromatics, and with a mineral-drenched, vibrant palate full of lift and energy. Nonetheless, its tightly coiled structure and slightly inward-facing demeanor signal the need for some cellar time in order for the wine to fully blossom. For many years, we offered wines from this same parcel when representing the Domaine des Chezeaux.
