Domaine Hubert Lignier - Morey-Saint-Denis - Trilogie - Red - 2022

Wine:

Blending fruit from three plots of very old vines across one hectare, right on the edge of the Premier Cru sites, the 2022 red Morey-Saint-Denis Trilogie captures the full character of Morey: its depth, its generosity, and its deliciously expressive style. This is Pinot Noir in perfect balance, with a lovely, fleshy texture, generous weight on the palate, and juicy, supple tannins. It also carries beautiful freshness, lively grip, and an underlying mineral backbone. A superb wine to start enjoying in two to three years.

Vinification:

Vines planted in 1936, 1942, 1964 and 1972. Hand harvested over an area of 1 hectare: Chenevery (60%), Clos Solon (15%), Porroux (25%). Yield 30hl/ha.
