Virgile Lignier is fourth generation winemaker. He is meticulous in the vineyards, where he routinely prunes aggressively to limit yields, and seeks to be as natural as possible when confronting viticultural challenges in the vineyard. His goal is that which was often stated by Henri Jayer: to produce the finest fruit possible from which to work with so that the wine can make itself as much as is possible.

Ruby red. Pure and powerful bouquet with layers of small dark cherries, blueberry and violet aromas, in the nose. The palate is medium-bodied into a structured mid-palate with a pinch of white pepper lingering on the finish that has a real peacock's tail of flavors, reinforcing its grand crus pedigree.
