Hubert Lignier is benchmark Morey Saint Denis, and one of Burgundy's most hallowed domaines. Over the last decade, Laurent Lignier has brought the domaine back to the heights of times past, under his father, where it was among the single most revered names in the Côte de Nuits. Always darker than the neighboring village of Chambolle-Musigny, the Morey wines from Lignier now show added lift and key freshness that have made them the envy of collectors throughout this new renaissance of late.
 
Lignier has been imported by Neal Rosenthal since the 1978 vintage, marking one of Neal's earliest and greatest successes. The style of the domaine has always been one that emphasized structure and distinct terroir-driven soil expression. Lignier's wines display the prototypical Morey rusted earth, black cherry, and a telltale hoisin note that the village is often associated with. However, as I mentioned, the style has recently shifted toward emphasizing the brightness of fruit and freshness as the foundation.
