Tasting Notes
Sourced from several old-vine parcels within the village, this wine expresses the depth and savoury nuance of Morey-Saint-Denis. Aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and violet mingle with forest floor, graphite and spice. The palate is firm yet harmonious, with generous fruit framed by fine tannins and a persistent mineral line. Structured, earthy and long, it combines the power of Morey with the elegance that defines the Lignier style. - Chris L
Domaine Hubert Lignier is one of the great traditional estates of the Côte de Nuits, based in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. The Lignier family has been making wine here since the late 19th century, and under the stewardship of Laurent Lignier—who now works alongside his father Hubert—the domaine continues to produce some of Burgundy’s most classically structured and long-lived wines.
The estate’s holdings span exceptional terroirs across Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, including premier and grand cru sites such as Clos de la Roche, Charmes-Chambertin and Morey 1er Cru Les Chaffots. Farming is carried out organically with great attention to soil health and vine balance, ensuring low yields and concentrated, expressive fruit.
In the cellar, Laurent and Hubert maintain a resolutely traditional approach: hand harvesting, partial whole-cluster fermentations with indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and élevage in French oak (with new oak kept to moderate levels). The resulting wines combine intensity and finesse—Pinots of depth, perfume and fine-grained tannin that reflect their sites with clarity and precision.
Domaine Hubert Lignier remains a benchmark for Morey-Saint-Denis and a standard-bearer for authentic, terroir-driven Burgundy.
