The Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2021 is a stunning expression of one of Burgundy’s most iconic Grand Cru vineyards. Clos de la Roche, located in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, is celebrated for producing wines of both power and finesse, with a distinct mineral core that reflects its limestone-rich soils. Hubert Lignier’s meticulous approach to biodynamic farming and low-intervention winemaking ensures that this wine fully captures the essence of its prestigious terroir. The 2021 vintage, characterized by cooler growing conditions, produced wines of remarkable elegance, vibrant acidity, and layered complexity.

On the nose, this Grand Cru offers an intense and complex bouquet of black cherries, wild blackberries, and ripe plums, accented by floral hints of violets and lavender. Earthy undertones of forest floor, crushed stones, and subtle spice notes of clove and star anise add depth and intrigue. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that provide balance and structure. A long, mineral-driven finish highlights its finesse and precision, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and power.

Presented in a 1.5L magnum, this wine is ideally suited for extended cellaring, allowing its intricate layers to unfold over the next 15–20 years. It pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roasted duck, venison with a cherry reduction, or truffle-infused risotto. The Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2021 is a testament to the grandeur of its vineyard and the masterful craftsmanship of one of Burgundy’s most respected domaines. A true collector’s gem, it promises a captivating journey for those who savor its evolution over time.
