This excellent cuvée will reveal spicy and floral notes after a few years of ageing!
More infoHubert Lignier’s Chambolle-Musigny Les Bussières is a Pinot noir from a parcel near Morey Saint Denis. Here, organic agriculture is practiced and the harvests are carried out by hand. The grapes are sorted rigorously upon arrival at the winery.
The grapes are then vinified naturally with very little intervention. The yeasts that ferment the juice are wild, and a third of the fruit is vatted in whole bunches. The wine is matured on lees for 21 to 22 months in oak casks. This is an elegant and delicate cuvée. Its nose is aromatic, evoking dried flower, spices, and liquorice. Its palate is mellow and fine.

About the Producer Hubert Lignier
The excellent reputation of Domaine Hubert Lignier goes back a long way, due to the finesse and concentration of their wines. In 1991 Hubert's son Romain joined the estate. He sadly died in 2004, and two years later Romain's brother, Laurent, joined his father. Situated near Morey, Gevrey, and Chambolle, this 11-hectare vineyard has been certified organic since the 2019 vintage. Approximately 2.5 hectares across six plots, including renowned appellations such as Chambolle-Musigny Les Bussières and Gevrey-Chambertin Seuvrées, are farmed biodynamically.
All the work is carried out with quality in mind (manual harvests, low yields, strict sorting); according to Laurent, “75% of a wine's quality comes from the quality of the vineyard”. The estate is home to mature vines averaging around 50 years old. Pinot Noir dominates the plantings (97%), supplemented by small amounts of Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc (3%) and a little Aligoté for white wines.
The winemaking philosophy favours low intervention with minimal additives. About one third of the fruit is vinified as whole bunches, lending a striking natural freshness to the wine. Wild yeast naturally present on the grape skins start fermentation and the resulting wine undergoes long maturations of 21-22 months on lees. The wines are not fined or filtered. What we find in the glass is a suppleness with tannins of a velvety character. Wine to age for many long years in the cellar.
