Reviews 93-95 points Wine Advocate "The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes is deep and concentrated, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis and wild berries mingled with warm spices, orange rind, burning embers and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's rich and concentrated, with lively acids and powdery tannins. Built to age, it will reward patience. (WK)" 93 points Vinous "The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru comprises of 75% Les Faconnieres and 25% from Les Chenevery planted by Laurent Lignier's grandfather between 1936 and 1952. This has a very elegant bouquet, beautifully defined with shimmering red fruit laced with minerals. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, a little earthy with a finish that is surfeit with tension. Often one of my favourite cuvees from the domaine, this will age with style. (NM)"

About Hubert Lignier
Located in the heart of Burgundy, Domaine Hubert Lignier embodies the unique blend of tradition and innovation that defines its exceptional wines. The estate, under the stewardship of Hubert and Laurent Lignier, covers nine hectares across illustrious villages like Morey Saint Denis, Gevrey Chambertin, Chambolle Musigny, Nuits Saint Georges, and Pommard. This family-led enterprise yields 24 distinct wines, each a singular expression of its terroir.
The Ligniers' commitment to organic farming, initiated in the 1990s, distinguishes them in their steadfast dedication to soil health and vine vitality. They employ plowing, avoiding weedkillers and pesticides, to maintain the crucial microbial balance necessary for vine growth. Each vineyard, or "climate," is treated with the utmost respect to preserve its unique character.
The winemaking process at Hubert Lignier follows a minimalist approach, emphasizing the intrinsic quality of the fruit. This attention to detail results in fresh, elegant wines that possess both full-bodied richness and a lingering, mouth-watering finish. Their portfolio includes a wide range of offerings, from Bourgogne to Grand Cru appellations, each expressing its terroir authentically and distinctively.
Particularly noteworthy is the Domaine's precise vinification and aging process. Grapes are de-stemmed and undergo fermentation in open-top cement tanks, followed by a prolonged cold soak for optimal extraction. Only natural yeasts are used. The aging in barrels, which uses 20-30% new oak and lasts for 20 to 24 months, occurs on lees without racking post-malolactic fermentation. The wines are bottled using gravity, with no fining, to preserve their freshness and aging potential.
With his brother Laurent's assistance, Hubert Lignier has carried forward the Domaine's stellar reputation for wines marked by concentration, depth, and structure, celebrated for their wonderful expression of terroir. In the words of wine critic Neil Martin, the wines are "pure, sensual, quite intellectual...," echoing the sentiments of those who enjoy tasting, drinking, and appreciating the unique essence of Hubert Lignier's craft.
