Although the Lignier domaine is historically associated with the CĂ´te de Nuits, their firmly classical house style melds beautifully with the mineral rigor of Pommard.
The En Brescul bottling of Pommard comes from vines planted in 1997, so, for Hubert Lignier, a relative new-comer to his offerings. En Brescul is a terraced vineyard overlooking the town of Beaune.
Hubert and Laurent ventured into this zone during the period of uncertainty following Romain’s death, and this “En Brescul” comes from a 0.4-hectare parcel of 20-year-old vines on which the family has a 25-year lease. Effusively stony, this 2018 presents mouthwatering red fruits on a firmly mineral frame, with impressive concentration for its level. It was de-stemmed entirely and raised in 25% new wood.
Practicing organic.
