From Hubert Lignier’s 2001 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru comes a poised, powerful red that layers dark berries and licorice with a subtle floral lift and a cool, stony edge. The palate is deep, concentrated and still structured, its vibrant acidity keeping the generous fruit taut and giving the finish impressive length and definition. This vintage shows both muscle and refinement, suggesting a long life yet with plenty of complexity already in place for those who open it now with a good decant.

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.
