2022 Hubert Lignier, Morey-Saint-Denis, Trilogie

The Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis "Trilogie" is derived from a meticulous assembly of old-vine Pinot Noir across the climats of Chenevery, Clos Solon, and Porroux. Laurent Lignier approaches these parcels with a low-interventionist philosophy, utilizing organic farming practices, native yeasts, and approximately 20–30% whole-cluster fermentation to structure the wine’s expression. The 2022 growing season, characterized by warm, dry conditions, provided consistent physiological ripeness, which Lignier manages through gentle extraction and extended barrel aging on the lees to preserve vineyard-specific character. The resulting structure is defined by its substantial, fine-grained tannins and a saline, persistent core that reflects the limestone-rich terroir of the Morey-Saint-Denis village appellation.
