A Few Limited 2023s from Domaine Hubert Lignier

Made by the extremely talented Laurent Lignier, we finally secured a small parcel of 2023s from Domaine Hubert Lignier...

"I would again note that the domaine has been on a roll over the last few vintages and it has again fashioned some lovely wines in 2023." - Allen Meadows

2023 Domaine Hubert Lignier Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
• 91-93BH, 90-92VN

"Deep ruby color. Here too moderate wood is present on the very ripe liqueur-like aromas of black cherry, cassis and warm earth. The succulent and rich though not especially dense medium-bodied flavors do possess a lovely texture that also contrasts somewhat with the youthfully austere and mildly raspy if long finale." - Allen Meadows

"It has a well-knit, focused bouquet with redcurrant and wild strawberry scents. This has fine delineation with a sense of energy. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and vibrant, with supple tannins..." - Neal Martin

2023 Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Sorbes
• 90-93(Outstanding)BH, 89-91VN

"Here too there is a hint of herbal tea on the softly wooded nose of earthy red currant aromas. The seductive, round and utterly delicious middle weight flavors are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the youthfully austere and lingering finale where the only reproach is a touch of warmth. This is a wine of finesse but with sufficient stuffing to repay up to a decade of aging." - AM

"The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Sorbés comes from a purchase of fruit that represents four barrels this year. This has a vibrant floral bouquet with lovely delineation and lift, as rose petal and bergamot infuse the raspberry fruit. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins and a caressing finish, a little fleshy and perhaps Chambolle-like. This will drink well in its youth." - NM

2023 Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrees
• 91-93VN
"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées comes from vines planted by Laurent Lignier's grandfather just after the war. Dark berry fruit mixes with iris flower and rooibos on the nose. It is well defined yet understated. The palate is medium-bodied with cranberry and raspberry notes. Touches of rose water come through with time, with fine concentration toward the finish. It's not quite up there with the 2022 but it comes close." - NM

Bonus, in stock 2022s:

2022 Hubert Lignier Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, 2 bottles available
• 90-93BH
"This is also quite firmly reduced and unreadable. The succulent, round and decidedly punchy medium-bodied flavors deliver equally good persistence on the youthfully austere, powerful and slightly warm finale. At least some patience will be necessary as this is pretty tightly wound." - Allen Meadows

2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Trilogie, 4 bottles available
• 91-94JM, 90-92VN, 88-91BH, 90-91WA
"The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Trilogie, based around 60% from Chenevery, has a well-defined bouquet of vivacious red berries, tart red cherries, citrus, and a touch of white chocolate. The palate is well-defined, with a smooth texture and a keen bead of acidity. It is quite saline in the mouth with a slightly austere finish at the moment, but it will fill out with time in bottle. One for the patient amongst you." - Neal Martin

2022 Pommard En Brescul, 6 bottles available 
• 88-91JM, 87-89VN, 87-90BH, 88-90WA
"The 2022 Pommard En Brescul, which Lignier mentioned tends to produce small berries, has a taut, focused bouquet of black cherries, raspberries, crushed stone, and a light marine scent that hovers in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, sappy red fruit, gentle grip, and a touch of white pepper towards the finish. Simple but effective." - Neal Martin

2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Regnard, 1 bottle available
• 91-92JM, 91-93VN, 88-91BH
"From purchased fruit, the 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Reniards has a perfumed bouquet of red berries, wild strawberries, and a touch of peppermint in the background. The palate is very well-balanced with red cherry, cranberry and crushed stone. Fresh and focused with a bit of allspice and peppercorns on the finish. This evidences a solid source of fruit. Very fine." - Neal Martin
