Hubert Lignier Morey St Denis 1er Cru Chaffots 2022 Premier Burgundy Wine

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-St-Denis Les Chaffots 1er Cru 2022
Elevated both literally and figuratively, this exceptional Burgundy Pinot Noir hails from Domaine Hubert Lignier’s prized half-hectare parcel nestled high above Morey-St-Denis’ iconic Clos Saint-Denis grand cru slope. Planted in 1968 and nurtured organically for the first time in this vintage, these ancient vines thrive at over 300 meters elevation on stony soils—a terroir that imparts striking mineral depth and structural precision.

Crafted with meticulous care using one-third whole-bunch fermentation, this wine captivates with vibrant aromas of fresh cherry and pomegranate layered over floral elegance and subtle smoky undertones. On the palate, it delivers a saline-driven intensity framed by fine-grained tannins and powdery texture—a balance of power and finesse that reflects its high-altitude origins. Critics acclaim its “impressive concentration” (Decanter) and “energetic dark raspberry” complexity (Jasper Morris), while noting its youthfully austere character demanding patience before reaching full splendor.

With aging potential spanning decades—Decanter recommends cellaring until 2037 before enjoying its peak—the Les Chaffots offers an ideal investment for collectors seeking Burgundy’s finest expressions of Pinot Noir. Its firm yet poised structure distinguishes it from neighboring cuvées like Riotte, showcasing a tensile elegance tied to its stonier terroir.

A standout among rare 2022 vintages, this wine blends tradition with modern organic viticulture to create a timeless bottle perfect for long-term cellaring or savoring during its golden years (2032–2048+). Whether you’re building a cellar or celebrating a milestone occasion years down the line, this Morey-St-Denis premier cru delivers unmatched value for its category-defining quality.
