Hubert Lignier Clos De La Roche Grand Cru
| Vintage: | 2020 |

| Description: | Decanter 97 Points - " A concentrated wine, with a powerful black plum and blueberry fruit, replete with notes of mineral, rose petal, smoke and spice. The texture is very dense and powerful, yet the wine never loses sight of its essential elegance and finesse. This 'regular' cuve of Clos de la Roche is a blend of two-thirds Monts Luisants and one-third Fremires, all 60-70 years of age. 30% of the fruit is fermented as whole clusters and the wine is aged in 30% new casks.". Wine Advocate 95 - 97 Points - "Aromas of dark berries, baking chocolate, forest floor, spices and plums introduce the 2020 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, a full-bodied, layered and multidimensional wine that's deep and concentrated, with lively acids, ripe tannins and a long, saline finish. Still primary after a year's levage, it's built to age. Laurent Lignier began his harvest on August 27, reporting below-average yields and finished alcohols between 13% and 14%. Once again, the result is a fine vintage for both his domaine holdings and ngociant sourcesthe latter, amounting to some 3.5 hectares of vines, now clearly distinguished in our reviews. As readers will know, winemaking is pretty classical at this address, with a short cold maceration, two to three weeks' maceration with one pigage and one rmontage per day and maturation in barrels, some one-third of which are newif possible, without rackingfor fully 22 months in the domaine's cold cellars." |
