All of the 1991 offerings from Georges Lignier taste light. Of the 1991 offerings, only the Charmes-Chambertin displays ripe, supple fruit in the mid-palate, and enough concentration to balance out the tannins. Lignier owns one of the most potentially promising domaines in the Cote de Nuits, and I am delighted to report that his American importer convinced him to stop filtering in 1991. While the yields were low (15-30 hectoliters per hectare), I was uninspired by Georges Lignier's 1991s. The light ruby color exhibited by the offerings suggests a lack of intensity and flavor extraction. The wines had only been in bottle one month when I tasted them, so they may improve slightly, but it appears this is not a vintage where Georges Lignier has excelled.
