Domaine H.Lignier Aux Combottes Burgundy Red Wine Single Vineyard Vintage Collection

Domaine Hubert Lignier 2021 Aux Combottes 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Nestled in Burgundy’s prestigious Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, this handcrafted Pinot Noir embodies the finesse of Côte de Nuits terroir. Organically farmed since 1995, the estate cultivates Aux Combottes’ steep slopes with sustainable practices, yielding a wine of striking balance and complexity.

Aromatics & Structure
The nose opens with a vibrant red fruit bouquet—think wild strawberries and Bing cherries—interwoven with earthy nuances of damp stone and dried thyme. On the palate, silky tannins cradle a concentrated core of dark cherry and raspberry flavors, elevated by subtle notes of orange zest and clove. The finish is impressively long, marked by a refreshing mineral edge that lingers gracefully.

Why This Bottle Stands Out
– Estate-Grown Terroir: Grown exclusively on Domaine Lignier’s 0.8-hectare Aux Combottes plot (certified organic since 2008).
– Timeless Aging Potential: Already showing elegance at 2 years old, this wine will develop further complexity over 5-7 years in cellar.
– Culinary Versatility: Perfect for pairing with roasted duck breast or aged cheeses; equally impressive as an apéritif or celebratory pour.
