Based in Morey-Saint Denis with prime holdings throughout the Cote de Nuits, the Lignier family has been crafting long-lived and elegant wines for generations.The estate has spent the past two decades converting to organic viticulture, achieving certification in 2019 led by Hubert’s son Laurent. Thanks to Laurent’s impeccable decision-making in the vineyards and in the cellar, the Lignier wines are as delicious as ever.

Hubert Lignier

With a history dating back to 1885, Domaine Hubert Lignier owns a little less than 10 hectares spread around several villages of the Cote de Nuits. Based in Morey-Saint-Denis, the family owns a robust set of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in their home village supplemented by choice parcels in Gevrey, Chambolle, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, and Saint-Romain. Since 2006, led by the current generation Laurent, the estate has been moving towards organic practices in all of the vineyards, and they achieved the Agriculture Biologique certification in 2019.

The Lignier’s work exclusively with destemmed fruit that is fermented in open-top cement tanks and fermented with natural yeasts. A point of focus for Laurent and the family is to work with old-vine massale selections, with some of their oldest dating back to 1936.

Laurent also prefers extended cold soaks pre-fermentation to allow for deeper extractions and long-lived and sensual wines. The usage of new oak is applied carefully and diligently, never exceeding 50% for premier cru and grand cru bottlings and the wines typically spend 18-24 months in barrel before being bottled without fining and filtration. It’s hard to find a domaine with such a clear direction and such regal wines.

Possessing enthralling aromas of deeply spicy cherries, Lignier's multi-dimensional Charmes-Chambertin is a fabulously concentrated, elegant, powerful, medium-to-full bodied, berry and cherry-filled wine gently touched by some sweet oak. It is spectacular, yet it will be better with 4 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2010. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.

More laid-back nose shows darker aromas of cassis and violets. Fatter and sweeter in the mouth. As dense as the Combottes but perhaps ultimately less complex, and clearly different in shape and style. This is much more accessible now, and should reach its peak sooner. Romain says the Ligniers' Combottes is more regular in quality than their Charmes holding; he actually prefers the Combottes in '95, '93 and '91.
