Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Domaine Hubert Lignier, Nuit St Georges, Les Didiers, 1er Cru, Hospices de Nuits, 2016

Lush, velvety-smooth crushed fruits. Rich and slick but not too heavy. Polished and silky - rather like a Vosne with a bit of extra weight. Beautofully vivid, caressing small dark berry fruit and asian spice flavours glide easily accross the palate. Les Didiers is a little- known Premier Crus as it is a monopole of the Hospices de Nuits. However the location is prime, being situated directly next to Les St Georges. Managed and made by a dedicated Hospices de Nuits team, Laurent Lignier buys the barrels and then takes care of the ageing and bottling himself.

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.”
