Tasting notes
Palish red with a healthy rim. Deeper-pitched and less forthcoming on the nose than the preceding village wines, showing an element of medicinal reserve to its aromas of cherry, herbs and spices. Bright and lively on entry, then quite closed in the mid-palate, with its savory red fruit and herb flavors conveying classic dryness. This substantial, tactile wine perks up the taste buds on the back end, finishing with fine-grained tannins.

Cask sample. A little darker fruited than the Morey. Still very perfumed but darker and more tart and dry on the palate. Less immediate pleasure but a longer future than the Morey. Just a little sour on the finish. (JH)
Bright medium red. Very sexy, perfumed nose combines black cherry, raspberry, cranberry, dried herbs and blood orange. Similarly penetrating and high-pitched in the mouth, with the red berry and herb flavors hinting at citrus peel but avoiding any hard edges. This will make a very precise, fruity, spicy village wine, and may be bottled earlier than most of Lignier's other '15s.
