All of the 1991 offerings from Georges Lignier taste light. The Bonnes Mares is lean and diluted. 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.
