The 2018 Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru is the fifth vintage from purchased fruit under the Lignier label. It has a rather closed, sultry bouquet that does not quite shift into fifth gear. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins, a svelte texture and candied red fruit mixed with blood orange and marmalade. It finishes with the style I would like to see develop on the nose.
