2023 Hubert Lignier, Bourgogne Passetoutgrain, Aux Poirelots

The Hubert Lignier Bourgogne Passe-tout-grains "Aux Poirelots" is a precise study in terroir expression, sourced from a 0. 4-hectare parcel in Morey-Saint-Denis planted with Gamay (1960) and Pinot Noir (1998). Committed to organic viticulture and soil-focused stewardship, the domaine employs massale selection and meticulous canopy management to maintain vineyard health and limit yields. In the cellar, the 2023 vintage conditions—defined by a successful, high-yielding season that retained acidity—allowed for a measured approach, utilizing a portion of whole clusters and aging in used barrels to ensure structural clarity. The result is a wine of defined architecture and nervous tension, characterized by fine-grained tannins and a focused mid-palate that reflects the site's distinct limestone and clay composition. This cuvée is bottled without fining or filtration to preserve the integrity of its inherent tension and structural profile.
