Information
About the producer

The excellent reputation of Domaine Hubert Lignier goes back a long way, due to the finesse and concentration of their wines. In 1991 Hubert's son Romain joined the domain. He sadly died in 2004, and two years later Romain's brother, Laurent, joined his father. The domain, practicing sustainable agriculture, counts eight hectares of vineyard close to Morey, Gevrey and Chambolle.
All the work is carried out with quality in mind (manual harvests, low yields, strict sorting); according to Laurent, “75% of a wine's quality comes from the quality of the vineyard”. Most of the grapes grown are Pinot noir, with a small amount of Gamay and Aligoté.
The juice is vinified with little intervention, with wild-yeast fermentation and long maturations of 21-22 months on lees. The wines are not fined or filtered. What we find in the glass is a suppleness with tannins of a velvety character.

About the wine

This Morey-Saint-Denis comes from the premier cru Les Chaffots. Hubert Lignier’s vines were planted in 1968 and cover an area of 4,500 square metres. These are situated on a 330-metre high slope exposed to the east ad south-east, just above the grand cru Saint Denis. This means the vineyard gets a good mix of sunshine and refreshing breeze. Organic farming is practiced here with manual harvests and a rigorous sorting process, making for limited yields.
There is little intervention as the grapes are vinified. A third of the grapes are fermented in whole bunches, a process instigated by wild yeasts. There is a very long maturation on lees (21-22 months) to refine the tannins.
In the glass, this cuvée is intensely red in colour. It is delicate on the palate with a certain tautness and purity in its fruit. This is a wine that can be aged extensively, so you can wait 5-10 years to enjoy it. Serve it at 16°C with a dish like beef bourguignon.
