Robert Parker (97)

The king of the cellar, Lignier's 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is superb, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of red and black cherries, cassis, warm spices, incense and grilled game bird. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and complete with striking depth and dimension, rich but satiny structuring tannins and excellent structural tension at the core, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. It's a magical wine that will merit ardent pursuit when it's released next year.

Barrel sample. From 90 ares (2.2 acres). His biggest grand cru. Two parcels, one in Monts Luisants (next to Dujac, so organic farming all around) in the north part and another in Les Fremières near Clos St-Denis. Vines planted in 1956 and 1968. 20% whole bunch, one-third new oak.
Mid to deep cherry. Aroma is of very ripe fruit, damson and sweet black cherry, so sweet. Seductively ripe rather than overripe. Rich and deep on the palate, the fruit dominating the fine-boned structure. Generous and dark-fruited to a long finish so that the freshness is there but not obvious. Great length and precision on the finish that I did not expect after the ripe aromas.

Tiny hairline fracture on the top of the wax seal.
