Tasting Note:
Georges Lignier’s 2022 Chambolle-Musigny is a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir that combines the appellation’s signature elegance with the generosity of the vintage. Wild raspberry, red cherry, strawberry, violet, rose petal, and subtle baking spice lead into a silky, finely textured palate. Delicate tannins and vibrant acidity provide structure without heaviness, while notes of forest floor and crushed limestone add savory complexity. Refined and aromatic, with a long, graceful finish that captures the unmistakable finesse of Chambolle-Musigny.
