The 2020 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru, which comes from purchased fruit, has a little more complexity than the Charmes-Chambertin, perhaps a touch more mineralité and florality. The palate is very well balanced with a sensual texture, beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Gentle grip towards the finish, I admire this fans out and makes an impression.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)
5 Star Wine. Dense black purple, while the nose is completely stunning from the first sniff. Grand cru territory for me. Perfectly on the cusp of red and black fruit, an explosion on the palate, now slightly darker in fruit, and with a little interior pepperiness, succulent and spicy at the same time, and very long.HK$3,990.00 -

Wine Advocate (90-92)
A cuvée that's purchased as wine for Lignier's négociant business, the 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos Baulet (négoce) offers up aromas of cherries, sweet berries, licorice and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with tangy acids, powdery tannins and a saline finish, it's a fine complement to the range.HK$3,950.00 -
(1x75cl) 2016Vinous (90-92)
(100% destemmed; La Riotte is adjacent to Les Blanchards but these vines are on more of a slope, and the mostly clay soil also features some rocky calcaire): Healthy medium red. More complex on the nose than the Blanchards, with raspberry and musky coffee aromas complemented by sexy soil tones and a floral element. Less fat and dense than the Blanchards, but its sappy raspberry fruit shows lovely mineral tension. Finishes precise, cool and long.HK$1,215.00 -

Vinous (90-92)
The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte 1er Cru has a tender bouquet with red berry fruit, crushed limestone and rose petal aromas, more Chambolle-like than Morey. The palate is quite rich and generous, nicely structured, sweet towards the finish that manages to disguise the 14.7° alcohol. If you desire one of Domaine Hubert Lignier’s more heady 2019s then this is the place to come.HK$7,495.00 -
(3x150cl) 2020Wine Advocate (92-94)
The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte opens in the glass with aromas of cherries, warm spices, wild berries, peonies and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with lively acids and melting tannins, it concludes with a long, saline finish.HK$5,430.00 -

Wine Advocate (92)
The 2008 Morey St.-Denis Les Chaffots is a sexy, powerful wine. This is a beautifully intense Morey layered with exquisite fruit. The tension between the fruit and the tannins keeps things interesting as the wine turns a bit dark on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.HK$1,765.00 -
Vinous (92+)
Healthy medium red. Reduced aromas of raspberry, smoke, brown spices and dried flowers. Rich, dense and harmonious, showing a lovely sugar/acid balance and noteworthy mineral-driven energy. Finishes firm, chewy and long, with a complicating saline quality. This is 13.2% alcohol without chaptalization, according to Laurent Lignier.HK$1,365.00 -
Vinous (93-95)
The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Chaffots 1er Cru has (another) very well defined bouquet with redcurrant, cranberry and sous-bois aromas, a little stemminess in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, impressive depth, but what underpins this premier cru is the freshness and tension on the finish. It should age with style. Superb.HK$6,735.00 -
