Côte-de-Nuits

Morey-Saint-Denis

Located at the heart of Côte de Nuits, Morey-Saint-Denis forms a bridge, between the wines of Gevrey-Chambertin to the north and those of Chambolle-Musigny to the south. Most of the appellation’s vineyards are planted with Pinot Noir grapes, producing wines that are typically full-bodied, structured and complex. However, a few parcels are planted with Chardonnay or Pinot Blanc varieties, yielding a rare and interesting white wine, generally quite firm and opulent.

The vineyards of Morey-Saint-Denis transition from the valley flats to 270m in altitude on the slopes. The region also has a diversity of terroirs – from pebbly, limestone rich soils in the north and south to more alluvial, clay soils in the mid-region.

Stéphane Magnien Morey Saint Denis ‘Vielles Vignes’ MAGNUM 2022
Moderate reduction dominates the nose at present. There is both better complexity and mid-palate density to the still supple and delicious medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a more powerful and noticeably more structured finale. This has fine development potential and is a wine that will need at least some patience. Drink: 2030+Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 Points

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er 'Chaffots' 2016
A discreet but not invisible hint of volatile acidity adds lift to the well-layered nose of black cherry, violet, lavender and subtle earth and spice hints. The muscular and energetic broad-shouldered flavors offer excellent punch and depth on the driving and firmly structured finish. Assuming that the VA remains at its current level, it shouldn't be more than a background element.Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er 'Chaffots' 2017
A cool, pure and relatively high-toned nose combines aromas of essence of red cherry, lilac, violet, lavender and plenty of earth character. There is better concentration to the nicely powerful and muscular flavors that culminate in a robust finale and while the finish still comes across as grippy, the tannins seem riper.Burghound

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er 'Chaffots' 2018
The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots wafts from the glass with aromas of plums, cinnamon, peonies, orange rind and raw cocoa. Medium-bodied, fine-boned and lively, it's bright and nicely concentrated, with youthfully chalky tannins and a saline finish. As usual, this is one of the more tightly wound premiers crus in the range, with an elegant, rather ethereal profile, and it will reward bottle age.William Kelley, Parker's Wine Advocate

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er 'Chaffots' 2019
From a higher-altitude site located in a former quarry, Lignier's 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots unwinds in the glass with aromas of earthy wild berries, cherries, licorice and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's lively and precise, with a more tightly wound, lower-pH profile than the Riotte.William Kelley, Parker's Wine Advocate 92-94 Points AM 91-94 ♥ Sweet spot Outstanding

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Vielles Vignes 2019
The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes is shaping up beautifully, mingling aromas of dark berry fruit, orange rind, espresso roast, forest floor and warm spices in an incipiently complex bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and complete, its serious long-haul structure largely concealed by a lively core of fruit. As usual, this "baby Clos de la Roche" derives from a parcel planted in the 1930s and 1940s that straddles the climats Faconnières and Chenev

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Vielles Vignes 2016
The 2016 Morey St Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes, which comes from vines planted as far back as the 1930s, suffered a lot of millerandage so that the yields was 25 hectoliters per hectare. It is matured one-third new oak and one-third whole bunch fruit. It has an introspective bouquet at first and then gradually unfolds to reveal enticing blackberry, briary and cold stone scents—all very sophisticated and poised. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, a disarming sense of symmetry an

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Vielles Vignes 2017
Moderately generous wood frames the intensely floral and fresh aromas of dark berries, violet, plum and earth. The rich and strikingly vibrant middle weight flavors exhibit evident muscle and minerality along with very good power on the lingering and very firm finish that is shaped by grippy and somewhat coarse tannins. My sense is that this may become less overtly rustic as the tannins resolve though with that said this is unlikely to ever be particularly refined.Burghound

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 'Les Seuvrées' MAGNUM 2019
"Aromas of ripe plum, spice, damp earth and the sauvage are trimmed in admirably discreet wood. There is fine richness and volume to the sleek, intense and well-detailed middle weight flavors that are quite saline in character, all wrapped in a relatively powerful, palate coating and long if mildly rustic finish. This too is an impressive villages and recommended. ♥ Outstanding Top value"Allen Meadows, Burghound

Another high point of the range is the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées, a medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety wine evocative of dark berries, licorice, sweet soil tones and potpourri. Vibrant and intense, it's a serious cuvée, built to age.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 90-92 Points
