    The wine

    Le Clos de la Roche is one of Morey-Saint-Denis’ finest crus. This is a wine to enjoy after around a decade of ageing. This cuvée’s vines come from two parcels: Monts Luisants and Fremières. The terroir is rich in white chalk, clay, and marl, and the vines are grown organically. These grapes are harvested by hand before a rigorous sorting process.
    What follows is a natural vinification with wild yeasts and a long maturation of 21 to 22 months. In the glass, this cuvée has a gentle, ruby-red hue. Its nose offers a bouquet of red fruits like strawberry and cherry, flowers, gentle spices, and earthy notes. On the palate it’s an aromatic marvel, dense and complex. Its power and intensity made it a truly charismatic cru. Serve it with chicken and mushroom, a veal fricassee, or roasted duck.

    Information about domain 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 domain. He sadly died in 2004, and two years later Romain's brother, Laurent, joined his father. The domain, practicing sustainable agriculture, counts eight hectares of vineyard close to Morey, Gevrey and Chambolle.
    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”. Most of the grapes grown are Pinot noir, with a small amount of Gamay and Aligoté.
    The juice is vinified with little intervention, with wild-yeast fermentation and 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.
