2009 Domaine Lucie et Auguste Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

I was deeply disappointed with Kellen Lignier's 2009s, and 2010s too, to tell the truth. None of the 2009s from bottle showed the sexiness I sensed when I tasted the wines from barrel earlier in 2011. It is impossible for an outside to know exactly what happened, but the reality is that Lignier's 2009s are all deeply flawed. I typically do not print reviews for wines that score under 85 points, but in this case the severe drop off in quality from barrel to bottle warranted this significant revision of scores. Unfortunately I can no longer recommend Lignier's 2009s.
