2023 Domaine Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France Martha Stouman In CaliforniaThis formidable Grand Cru has always been the standard bearer of the Lignier domaine. I frequently joke to Hubert Lignier that the only mistake I ever witnessed him commit was his decision to sell off his 1981 Clos de la Roche to negociants because he thought it wasnt up to his standards. This is a complete wine marked by somber black fruits and firm yet subtle tannins; it has exceptional breed and fine aging potential. Our personal collection dates
