Domaine Hubert Lignier is one of the benchmark estates in Morey Saint-Denis, and indeed in the Côte de Nuits. On his retirement, Hubert Lignier left his vineyards to his son Romain, who passed away in 2004, and who continued to produce some of the most consistent and accomplished wines in Burgundy. In 2006, Hubert's eldest son, Laurent Lignier, took over the domaine and, in 2014, recovered all the vines, part of which were rented to Romain's wife. The estate has been working organically since 2011, and will be certified in 2019.

About

Bourgogne Pinot Noir Grand Chaliot comes from a vineyard planted in 1987, south of Nuits Saint Georges. This Bourgogne offers plenty of body in its youth, giving it good ageing potential. 

Your questions, our answers.

How long can we reasonably expect to cellar this 2021?

The description notes good aging potential, along with substantial body from an early age. However, it gives neither a specific duration nor a drinking window: you could consider cellaring it, but without setting a precise year to open it.

Does the stated body mean this wine will be very tannic?

Here, body refers to the wine’s substance and presence on the palate. This alone is not enough to conclude that it has powerful tannins or an astringent feel, neither of which is described.

Why distinguish the year the vines were planted from the bottle’s vintage?

1987 is the year the vines were planted, while 2021 is the year this wine was harvested. The age of the plot provides a reference point for its origins, but on its own, it does not make it possible to predict how the wine will develop in the bottle.

Does the Parker score of 88 tell me whether this wine will suit my tastes?

This score provides a point of reference, but no accompanying tasting note is available. When choosing, the most specific indication is the substantial body noted in its youth; the aromas and tannin texture are not specified.

Does comparing this Grand Chaliot 2021 with Henri Germain’s Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 make it possible to isolate the effect of the vintage?

No, because the producer and cuvée also differ: any differences could not be attributed to the vintage alone. Without detailed notes on both wines, it is also not possible to say which one would be softer or more concentrated.
