Morey-St.-Denis La Riotte•2022

Hubert Lignier’s 2022 Morey-St.-Denis La Riotte 1er Cru shows plush black plum and blackberry layered with dark cherry, gentle spice and a subtle smoky-earthy tone. The palate is supple and generously fruited, with a mellow acidity and fine, powdery tannins that give structure without hard edges, leading to a long, sweetly toned finish. This vintage emphasizes charm and texture over austerity, making it particularly seductive in its youth.
