2015 | Domaine Hubert Lignier | Morey St Denis Les Blanchards

It has a lively bouquet with cranberry leaf, wild strawberry and light spicy notes that open nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth, plenty of sappy black fruit with a firm grip on the finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Hubert Lignier (formerly Hubert Lignier & Fils and also known as Hubert et Laurent Lignier) is a family-run domaine in Burgundy, producing both red and wines. The estate is located in Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits subregion and is best known for its Pinot Noir wines from the grand cru vineyard Clos de la Roche. It is owned and run by the father-son duo Hubert and Laurent Lignier. The estate is made up of around nine hectares (22 acres) of vineyard land that ranges from the basic Bourgogne appellation to grand cru. Vineyard holdings are primarily located in the villages of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Chambolle-Musigny, with newer vineyards acquired in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Pommard. Pinot Noir is the primary grape variety produced by the domaine, but Chardonnay, Gamay, and Aligoté are also included in the portfolio. Hubert Lignier practices traditional methods in the vineyard to showcase the terroir of each appellation, but practices interventionalist methods for vinification. Wines are left to age for 20-22 months in barrel, and are left unracked and on the lees after malolactic fermentation. Hubert Lignier wines are bottled without fining. Hubert Lignier himself had stepped back from running his domaine in the early 1990s, leaving the reins to his son, Romain. Romain tragically died in 2004 and Hubert returned to winemaking with his other son Laurent.
