Notes:
La Riotte is said to derive from an old dialect form related to “rue,” meaning a small path or lane. This climat, located in the heart of the Morey-Saint-Denis vineyard, is renowned for the elegance of its wines, which are approachable in their youth, fine and silky, in the spirit of Chambolle-Musigny. At Lignier, the vineyard from which this cuvée comes was planted in 1959 at the foot of Clos Saint-Denis, on a clay-limestone soil composed of many small stones. The aging potential is about ten years.
Les Chaffots, for its part, is a climat on the upper part of the slope, similar to Monts-Luisants. The wines produced from it are renowned for their freshness and minerality, as well as their structure. At Domaine Hubert Lignier, this vineyard parcel was planted in 1968, above Clos-Saint-Denis, at an altitude of 330 meters. Its excellent exposure allows it to combine freshness and ripeness, resulting in one of the estate’s deepest-colored wines.
The Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes cuvée is a blend of two parcels: Faconnières, a vineyard planted in 1947 and 1960, and Chenevery, planted in 1936, 1942, and 1943. Located near Clos de la Roche, its soil is very thin. The Vieilles Vignes cuvée produces dense, complex, and smooth wines, made from small clusters affected by millerandage.
2020 was an early, sun-drenched, and concentrated vintage. With a very mild winter and uneventful months of April and May, the start of the season led to flowering under excellent conditions. The hot and very dry summer resulted in an extremely early harvest of very healthy, concentrated grapes, beginning in mid-August. The 2020 wines display deep fruit, are richly colored, concentrated, ripe, and well-extracted, and are endowed with a fine tannic structure.
Domaine Hubert Lignier will be pleased to welcome the winning bidder, accompanied by a guest of their choice, for a day at the estate during the harvest of the 2027 vintage. The date of the visit will be mutually agreed upon by the buyer and Domaine Hubert Lignier.
