Highly Rated DomainéHub.Lig.’s Clo des LaRothe Gr.Cru – Rare Vint & Awards

Domaine Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2020
Elevate your Burgundy collection with this iconic 2020 Pinot Noir from Domaine Hubert Lignier, crafted in the heart of Morey-St-Denis within Burgundy’s esteemed Côte de Nuits. This Grand Cru wine embodies the perfect harmony of power and elegance, blending Monts Luisants (67%) and Fremières (33%) terroirs—both parcels averaging 60-70 years old—to create a masterpiece of depth and complexity.

A Winemaking Tradition
Laurent Lignier’s meticulous approach shines through every sip: 30% whole-cluster fermentation enhances texture while 30% new oak barrels (aged for 22 months) adds subtle spice without overpowering the fruit. Organic farming practices preserve the purity of this terroir-driven wine, offering a refined balance of ripe tannins and vibrant acidity that demands patience yet rewards immediate enjoyment.

Tasting Experience
Expect a symphony of dark fruit—black plum, blueberry, and cassis—intertwined with mineral-driven notes of violet petal, smoky spice, and saline earthiness. Decanter’s 97-point praise highlights its dense yet graceful profile, while Jasper Morris marvels at its “strict structure” and “thrilling” finish. Vinous notes its “beautifully-defined bouquet” of violet-infused berries and white pepper nuances, while Burghound lauds its “magnificent track record” for aging potential (drink from 2040).

A Cellar Essential
With accolades spanning 93-97 points across critics like Wine Advocate and John Gilman (96 points), this wine is a testament to Burgundy’s grandeur. Perfect for collectors seeking timeless elegance or connoisseurs pairing with rich game dishes, its 14% alcohol content ensures both immediate satisfaction and decades of evolution in your cellar.

Experience the pinnacle of Burgundy craftsmanship—where tradition meets terroir in every sip.
