Domaine Georges Lignier, Gamay Blend 2022 Passetoutgrain, Burgundy, France

Under the skilled guidance of Benoît Stehly since 2008, this prestigious Morey-Saint-Denis estate continues a family legacy dating back four generations. This traditional Passetoutgrain exemplifies the domaine's commitment to elegance and aromatic purity, crafted from two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Gamay sourced from three parcels in Morey-Saint-Denis. The wines are aged entirely in stainless steel to preserve their fresh, vibrant character.

Tasting Notes

Light and fresh with bright, appealing red berry fruits at the forefront. Delicious bright red and black cherry fruit is complemented by a touch of white pepper and an edge of earthy minerality. The wine displays classic Côte de Nuits complexity with Cru Beaujolais exuberance, finishing with just the tiniest lick of milk chocolate for added depth and charm.
