Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey St. Denis Blanchards 1er Cru 2018

This 66 ares vineyard lies just below the Grand Cru of Clos des Lambrays and the village. The vines are all 40+ years old and the soil is stony, silty and drains well, making a wine that is delicate and sensual. This is the smallest 1er Cru in Morey and is dead centre of the appellation and so is a perfect example.

Father and son Hubert and Laurent Lignier manage this 9-hectare estate in Morey-Saint-Denis. They practice organic practices to create a perfect balance for the vine’s growth. Their wines are fresh, fine and elegant Burgundies thanks to the very little intervention in the cellar.
