MOREY-SAINT-DENIS 1ER CRU CLOS BAULET 2020 HUBERT LIGNIER

€90.00
Bouteille 75 cl

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

Clos Baulet is a specific climat located in the Morey saint denis appellation. 

Your questions, our answers.

Does the name “Clos Baulet” indicate a Grand Cru?

No: this bottle is classified as Premier Cru, and Clos Baulet refers to a specific vineyard site in Morey-Saint-Denis. So, to place it within your selection, focus on its classification rather than the word “Clos” alone.

What might guide my choice between this Clos Baulet and Amiot Didier’s 2020 Chenevery?

These two reds share the 2020 vintage and Premier Cru classification in Morey-Saint-Denis, but differ in vineyard site and producer. The information provided is not enough to compare them in terms of finesse, power, or aromas.

Is a Parker score of 91 enough to rank this wine ahead of the catalogue’s other Premier Crus?

This score is a critical reference point, not a ranking of the wines on offer. Without an accompanying tasting note or comparable ratings for the other wines, it is not enough to establish a preference.

Can I choose this Clos Baulet to get an idea of Hubert Lignier’s general style?

It can be a first introduction to the producer, but it remains a wine from a specific vineyard site and vintage. A single bottle cannot distinguish what comes from the producer’s style, the place, or the year.

Would comparing it with Amiot Didier’s 2017 Les Millandes help isolate the effect of the vintage?

No, because you would be changing the vintage, vineyard site, and producer at the same time. This comparison can explore two expressions of Premier Cru Morey-Saint-Denis, but any differences observed could not be attributed to the year alone.
