2018 Domaine Georges Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

品飲筆記：這支Clos de la Roche特級田散發明亮的紅果香，櫻桃與覆盆子帶出鮮明果感，隨之而來的是紫羅蘭花香、林下土壤與淡淡菌菇氣息。口感清晰有層次，酸度活潑推動整體，使紅果與礦物感緊緊相連；單寧細緻有抓力，既不厚重又留下悠長餘韻。

酒莊背景：橋治李耶（Domaine Georges Lignier & Fils）是位於Morey‑Saint‑Denis的家族酒莊，產量不大但對園中每一塊地非常細心，酒款常見到產區特有的優雅和陳年潛力。

釀造工藝：人工採收、嚴格篩選果實，依傳統手法發酵，控制萃取以保留香氣和柔順口感；熟成以法國橡木桶為主，部分新桶輕度調味，讓香料感與果味更融合。

葡萄園與土壤：來自Clos de la Roche陡坡小地塊，石灰質與礫石土壤排水良好，老藤與低產量使風味集中，賦予這支酒明晰的礦感和紮實的結構。建議稍微醒酒，慢慢品味。

Tasting note: This Grand Cru opens with an expressive bouquet of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with violet florals, damp forest floor and subtle mushroom notes. On the palate it is pure and focused — bright acidity frames a core of vivid red fruit and mineral tension, while fine-grained tannins provide structure without weight. Spicy undertones and an iron-tinged finish carry the wine to a long, elegant close.

Producer notes: Domaine Georges Lignier & Fils is a small family domaine in Morey‑Saint‑Denis, celebrated for wines that reflect the precise terroir of their parcels. Their Clos de la Roche bottlings are known for clarity, energy and an ability to age gracefully.

Winemaking: Hand-sorted fruit undergoes traditional Burgundian vinification with careful extraction to preserve perfume and texture. The wine rested in French oak barrels (including a portion of newer oak) for extended élevage to integrate tannin and spice while maintaining freshness.

Vineyard notes: Sourced from the steep, stony slopes of Clos de la Roche, the vines benefit from limestone-rich soils and good drainage. Low yields and old vines concentrate flavours and give the wine its mineral spine and vigour.
