Clos Saint Denis 2018 Georges Lignier

Avis professionnels

Jancis Robinson (18)

Cask sample. Compact and blocky in structure, as if pixellated at present and needs time to gain resolution. That's entirely forgivable for a grand cru, and the underlying fruit has a tarry savoury character that bodes well. Patience needed.

From barrel. Rich mid purple, juicy but lacks precision. Some toast and a light barrel spice, juicy dark red fruit but tails away. Not quite up to standard for grand cru. Perhaps some of the precision will return after racking.
