Marsannay Rouge Domaine Georges Lignier & Fils 2021

Fresh and finely detailed, this Marsannay opens with aromas of red cherry, cranberry, and raspberry, lifted by subtle notes of violet, spice, and a touch of earth. The palate is bright and well-defined, showing pure red fruit, fine-grained tannins, and lively acidity that give the wine energy and balance. Pale ruby in colour, it finishes clean, supple, and gently savoury, with impressive length for a village-level wine.

Domaine Georges Lignier & Fils is known for its precise, terroir-driven Pinot Noir across the Côte de Nuits. Marsannay, at the northern end of the Côte d’Or, often delivers wines of freshness and charm, and the cooler 2021 vintage plays to those strengths. This cuvée offers an elegant, approachable expression of Burgundy Pinot Noir, combining clarity of fruit with classic structure and excellent drinkability.
