"The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Poisets is the sophomore release and was planted in the mid-Thirties. This is one cuvee where I felt there were signs of over-ripeness on the nose, a touch smudged compared to others. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red fruit, fine grip, quite dense and powerful with a grainy-textured saline finish. There is a lot here considering that this is Village Cru."

"There are ripe aromas of pomegranate, mulberry and black cherry. Careful canopy management ensures that the wine retains its balance, and it shows a pronounced mineral salinity and a hint of rose petals. The texture balances impressive density with freshness to create a lively feel. In 2010, Lignier purchased this parcel with friends. Planted in 1934, the old vines are susceptible to millerandage and in 2020 gave three barrels instead of the hoped-for four. The fruit, however, was super-concentrated."
