Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Domaine Hubert Lignier, Morey St Denis, Très Girard, 2012
ABV:
13%
87+/100
Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Medium red. Redcurrant, iron and soil nuances on the nose. Juicy and fairly dense, with red fruit and brown spice flavors complicated by dried flowers and earth. With sound acidity and tannins that arrive earlier, this is less open today than the Chambolle.

Domaine Hubert Lignier

Domaine Hubert Lignier

A Domaine based in Morey St Denis that is held in high esteem by both fellow vignerons and Burgundy-lovers alike, Hubert Lignier is a five generation family estate that was first established in 1880. The business continually passed on from father to son, eventually coming to Hubert Lignier. In 1992 Romain Lignier joined his father, Hubert, but tragically died in 2004. In 2006 his brother Laurent took over the business to help his father and now runs the estate today. Laurent summarises the domaine’s aim to be “aspiring to make authentic and sensual wines that express their own terroir.” Understated and gentle the wines reflect the character of their maker. Blessed with old vines in Morey St Denis and some fabulous Gevrey and Chambolle parcels, Laurent makes wines of thrilling purity and elegance. The grapes are all destalked, apart from 10% for the Grands Crus in certain vintages, and the wines are aged in oak barrels, always light in toast, fine-grained and never more than 20% new. The vineyard is treated with respect, ploughed and without the use of herbicides or insecticides. Vinifications and ageing are gentle, slow and non-interventionist, as Laurent says “watching and patience are key in the cellar.”
