Est. delivery in 2026

Founded over a century ago, Domaine Georges Lignier is a historic estate with exceptional vineyards concentrated in and around Morey-Saint-Denis, in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits.

As wine expert Jasper Morris notes, “One of the strengths of the 16-hectare domaine is to have mature vineyards… replanted systematically in the 1950s with good vine material, not clones.” This careful replanting strategy has provided the domaine with a foundation of healthy, low-yielding old vines that produce fruit of extraordinary character and complexity.

Since 2008, the domaine has been under the stewardship of Benoît Stehly, the nephew of Georges Lignier. Benoît worked alongside his uncle for over a decade, gaining invaluable experience in both vineyard management and winemaking before taking full responsibility for the estate.

Benoît’s philosophy emphasises meticulous vineyard work, sustainable practices, and minimal intervention in the cellar to allow the unique qualities of each parcel to shine. As a result, the wines of Domaine Georges Lignier have gained recognition for their balance, finesse, and ability to age gracefully, offering an authentic expression of Burgundy’s remarkable diversity.
