Description
Domaine Georges Lignier is a historic and highly respected family estate located in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis, at the centre of Burgundy’s prestigious Côte de Nuits. The domaine traces its roots back to the late 19th century and has been passed down through five generations of the Lignier family. Since the early 2000s, Georges’ great-nephew Benoît Stehly has been at the helm, bringing fresh energy and a focus on precision and terroir expression while honouring the estate’s traditional values.
The domaine covers approximately 16 hectares and boasts an impressive portfolio of vineyard holdings, including Grand Crus such as Clos Saint-Denis, Clos de la Roche, and Charmes-Chambertin, as well as Premier Cru sites in Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin, and their home commune of Morey-Saint-Denis. These exceptional parcels allow the domaine to produce wines that showcase the full range and nuance of Burgundy’s most coveted terroirs.
Domaine Georges Lignier is known for crafting structured, age-worthy Pinot Noir with depth, minerality, and finesse. The winemaking style emphasises traditional methods, including partial whole cluster fermentation, long macerations, and restrained use of new oak, resulting in wines that are elegant, balanced, and reflective of site and vintage.
Under Benoît Stehly’s leadership, the estate has become a benchmark for terroir-focused, cellar-worthy Burgundy, with a growing international reputation for consistency, authenticity, and value across its impressive range of appellations.
