There’s striking aromatic complexity here in Hubert Lignier’s 2000 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, with layers of red and black berries, hints of plum, mint and dried flowers threaded by notes of spice, earth and a touch of game. The palate is medium to full-bodied yet poised, concentrated in dark, sweet fruit, with supple texture, good density and a persistent, gently savory finish that shows this vintage’s rare depth and structure for 2000. Fully expressive now, it offers both sensual charm and a serious backbone of terroir-driven nuance.

Hubert Lignier’s Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is a profound, old-vine Pinot Noir from just under one hectare of prime Clos de la Roche terroir in Morey-Saint-Denis, rooted in thin, pebble-strewn topsoil over solid limestone. Typically dark, intense and long-lived, it marries mineral-driven power and rugged spice with a fine, silky tannin profile that captures the sauvage, smoky side of this great grand cru while remaining impeccably pure and precise.
