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.

This Fixin blanc comes from vines planted in the year 2000 that span a surface of 2,400 square metres. Whilst this area’s usual resident is the Pinot noir grape, space has also been made for Chardonnay. The vines are grown organically and the harvests are carried out by hand, including a rigorous sorting process with small yields.
There is little intervention as the grapes are vinified, with a third of the grapes kept in whole bunches as the wild yeasts ferment the juice. This white wine was matured in oak casks (20-30% new) for around 15 months. In the glass, it offers a floral bouquet with white fruit (pear, peach) and a certain richness. It can be enjoyed in its youth or after a few years of ageing, and it will pair perfectly with fish.
