2004 | Lucie et Auguste Lignier | Clos de la Roche

A superbly complex nose combining a stylish mix of red berry liqueur, blue berry and black raspberry fruit aromas nuanced with game, tea, smoke and hints of earth and leather. The big and well-muscled yet refined flavors are structured, firm and explosive and this finishes with a flourish as it's at once classy and stunningly pure.

• Burghound: A superbly complex nose combining a stylish mix of red berry liqueur, blue berry and black raspberry fruit aromas nuanced with game, tea, smoke and hints of earth and leather. The big and well-muscled yet refined flavors are structured, firm and explosive and this finishes with a flourish as it's at once classy and stunningly pure. Another terrific Lignier Clos de la Roche in a long string of them; just be aware that this will require moderate patience.

Producer Information

Kellen Lignier arrived in Burgundy in the late 1990's. Since then she has found herself a new occupation, she has seen land prices go through the roof and she has discovered that a domaine of 8.3 hectares can be both too big and too small. – I find wine to be very sensual, she says. And I find working with grapevines to be a beautiful way to participate in nature. I love wine now, so it is a pleasure for me to make wines that I love and that I can drink every day. It is a pleasure to have beautiful vineyards and to have lovely grapes coming in. I think it is a beautiful thing to do. I don't know what else I would do because I really enjoy this. Domaine Lucie et Auguste Lignier is located in Morey-Saint-Denis, about halfway between the church and the Beaune-Dijon road. This was once the cooperative in Morey-Saint-Denis. Today the domaine shares it with a restaurant. – My father-in-law was the president of the cooperative, explains Kellen Lignier. Then in the 1970's everyone started taking back their wine to sell in bottles because it was more interesting. The cooperative was liquidated in 1998; that's when we bought the winery. At this time it was still Domaine Hubert Lignier. Romain Lignier, one of Hubert's two sons and Kellen's husband, was going to take on responsibility for the domaine.
