Virgile Lignier began his harvest on September 24. Potential alcohols came in between 11.8 and 14%. The wines under 12.5% were lightly chaptalized by about a half degree. I tasted all of the 2010s from tank, where they were resting in anticipation of bottling, which was scheduled to start this January. Virgile Lignier told me he was quite surprised by the quality of the 2010s, especially the ripeness of the tannins.

Virgile Lignier began harvesting on September 23, with grape sugars ranging from 12.2% to as high as 13.8% (in Charmes-Chambertin). He vinified all his 2010s with at least 20% whole clusters. As of the 2010 growing season, this domain is farmed entirely en bio, and Lignier is convinced that organic viticulture gives a purer expression of fruit. He's also doing a less manual extraction, relying more on arrosage (keeping the cap wet by sprinkling the must over it) than pigeage. The wines had been racked in late September and were assembled in tanks at the time of my tasting. Lignier was planning to bottle between December and February.
