Pinot Noir: Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de la Roche Grand Cru from Domaine Hubert Lignier.
The wines are always well-coloured, aromatic, dense and complex due to various mineral compounds. The wines are powerful due to their intensity on the palate, but their tannins are concentrated, fine and silky. This is a charismatic wine of great class! Built for very long ageing.
Surface area totally 90 ares over two parcels:
- Monts Luisants: 62 ares planted between 1955 and 1965 on hillsides with a 25% gradient.
- Fremières: 28 ares planted between 1953 and 1960.
Thin soil composed of white limestone, clay and marl over compact rock known as "dalle nacrée" (pearly flagstone) from the Middle Jurassic.
Ratings:
