Description
What kind of wine it is
The Morey-Saint-Denis Rouge 1er Cru Les Blanchards by Hubert Lignier is a still red wine that expresses the authentic character of Burgundy. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, it appears in the glass with a ruby red hue. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet dominated by red fruit aromas, skilfully accompanied by notes of liquorice. On the palate, it reveals itself as an energetic and structured red, capable of displaying a dense and profound body. While it may seem slightly reserved in its youth, this Premier Cru is destined for a long and complex evolution, gradually releasing elegant fruity and spicy nuances over time.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Burgundy, in the renowned area of Morey-Saint-Denis. The vines take root in the Les Blanchards climat, a plot classified as Premier Cru. The uniqueness of the area lies in its clay soil, located at the base of the slope and enriched by scree from the Combe de Morey. This geological composition defines the wine’s identity, ensuring a dense and profound style. Deep respect for this terroir encourages the natural interaction between vine and environment, guaranteeing excellent gustatory longevity on the palate.
How it is produced
Hubert Lignier manages the vineyards with the utmost respect for natural balance. Since the 1990s, the vines have grown without the use of herbicides or insecticides, supported since 2011 by organic protective treatments to promote soil vitality. After ageing, the wine acquires remarkable complexity. To enhance its aromatic nuances, a one-hour decanting is recommended. This care prepares the wine to ideally accompany flavourful meats and game, perfectly balancing even mature cheeses.
