The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny is soft, racy and succulent from start to finish. Sweet red berries, plums, spices, mint and raspberries all flesh out in the glass. The style is racy, supple and perfumed throughout. The tannins are a bit firm, but another few years in bottle should do the trick. This is a gorgeous wine from Lignier.Inc. TAX€188.35 -
Wine Advocate (88-90)
Produced from purchased fruit and vinified with one-third whole clusters, the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes (négoce) bursts with aromas of raspberries, berries, woodsmoke and sweet soil tones. It's medium to full-bodied, succulent and fine-boned, with a delicate core of fruit framed by powdery tannins.Inc. TAX€671.28 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes comes from two terrors and is an acquisition of fruit. The nose is quite backward at first and does not quite slip into fifth gear. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet red cherry and strawberry entry, fine acidity, quite fleshy as you would hope from a Chambolle with the 30% whole bunch imparting a welcome spiciness on the finish. Very fine.Inc. TAX€477.12 -
(12x75cl) 2008Wine Advocate (90-91)
Ultra-bright cherry and rhubarb are the brash protagonists of the Ligniers’ 2008 Charmes-Chambertin, whose carnal side comes out on a fine-grained palate as salted beef marrow. Hints of vanilla and resin from its 100% new wood are not obtrusive, and this finishes with real refreshment and energy. I would expect it to be worth following for most of a decade if not longer.Inc. TAX€4,173.36 -
Wine Advocate (93)
The 2011 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru was raised entirely in new oak. It is aromatically not a million miles away from the Aux Combotte 11 tightly wound and a little timid on the nose at first and demands coaxing. It reluctantly reveals quite intense wet limestone scents that dominate over the red and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine grip on the entry with the oak lending it a smooth veneer. Harmonious and focused, it glides to quite a sinewy finish that needs a couple of years to fully integrate the wood. Very fine. Drink 2016-2028.Inc. TAX€532.72 -
Wine Advocate (93-95)
The 2013 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru, which comes from the Mazoyères sector, has a very well-defined and quite intense bouquet with live-wire red cherry and strawberry preserve underpinned by zingy citrus fruits. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and plenty of sorbet-fresh red fruit that build toward a composed but energetic finish. No, not quite as thrilling as the 2012 tasted alongside, but surely one of the finest examples of this vineyard.Inc. TAX€257.33 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru includes 20% whole bunches, matured in one-third new oak. It has a gorgeous bouquet of cranberry and raspberry fruit with veins of cassis; later, brown spices emerge. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, good depth and fine grip, perhaps just missing a little precision toward the finish but still very fine.Inc. TAX€388.13 -

The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from the Mazoyères side. It has a very attractive bouquet of black cherries, wild strawberry, cola and touches of brown spices. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, the 30% whole bunch lending a subtle earthiness on the midpalate, although I would like a little more substance to show on the finish.

Situated in Mazoyères, the 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is well defined on the nose with precise black fruit laced with blueberry and light violet aromas.

Burghound (92-94)
Here too a discreet application of wood is present on the equally cool, wonderfully pure and exceptionally pretty aromas of essence of red currant, violet, lavender and a hint of earthiness. There is both excellent volume and mid-palate density to the intense and sleek mouthfeel that is again thanks to the polished tannins supporting the focused and sneaky long finish. As is often the case with the Lignier Charmes, it is a combination of power and finesse.Inc. TAX€1,981.64 -

(1x75cl) 2020Decanter (98)
Inky dark in colour, showing a ripe, brambly, blackberry fruit, with sweet spice and a marked mineral note. The wine is dense and concentrated, more muscular than some renditions, yet a refreshing acidity brings the wine into a lovely balance. In 1955 the grandparents of Laurent Lignier planted a small parcel in the lieux-dit Les Monts Luisants. Laurent uses the best fruit here to produce this hommage to his grandparents, which is among the top wines being made in the Clos de la Roche today.Inc. TAX€1,600.28 -

The 2002 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru was one on the highlights of the Lignier vertical. Glossy red cherries and kirsch, hints of blueberry on the nose lifted by just a touch of VA, but that disappears with aeration. The palate is framed by very fine tannins, superb acidity and a vibrant, shimmering finish that is lightly spiced with clove and white pepper. Superb transparency here, a brilliant 2002 just flexing its muscles.Inc. TAX€1,588.75 -
(12x75cl) 2016Wine Advocate (97-99)
The 2016 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is matured in 30% new oak with up to 30% whole cluster fruit, two-thirds from Montluisants and one-third Fremiers. It has an intoxicating bouquet that is extraordinarily complex: shimmering red berry fruit, blood orange, incense and a touch of crushed violet. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, wonderful depth and harmony, laser-like focus toward the finish that lingers in the mouth. Stunning mineralité here—the tongue feels as if it licked limestone 30 second after the wine has disappeared. If there is a better Clos de la Roche then I have not tasted it (yet).Inc. TAX€8,053.46 -

The 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is beguiling and pure on the nose with perfumed red cherries, raspberry and cranberry - blossoming with aeration. The palate is everything that you really wish for in a Clos de la Roche: impressive structure, multi-layered red fruit, mineralité that belies the warmth of the summer and a compelling fresh and sapid finish that urges you back to the glass.

The 2021 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru has a bright and lively bouquet, carefree and well defined, with effervescent Morello cherry and white-tipped strawberry aromas. The palate is framed by lithe tannins and a silver bead of acidity, balanced yet missing the x-factor shown by the best Clos de la Roche this vintage. Straightlaced on the finish, it does not stick in the memory as it should. Not bad by any means, but I think this just suffered from inadequate time to aerate. I am sure another bottle in a few years would tally with my barrel projection. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. TAX€555.07
