Light and fruity. Nice pairing with fish. — 6 years ago
Double decanted at Ma Cuisine. Charming from the get go. Attractive nose of sweet spices and cool red berry fruit. Quite Vosne like. Very elegant and smooth on the palate, while slight astringency gives way to NSG. Later learned that the fruit is owned by Hospice de Nuits. Even more impressive considering Hubert Lignier doesn't own the vineyards. Personally a fan of Les St George made by Lignier and Faiveley. I have go to try the Chevillon and Gouge to see how the style differs for this terroir! — 8 years ago
One of the first vintages after Romain Lignier's passing. Black plum and cherry, and sous bois notes. Elegant structure and acidity; will continue to drink for another 10 years. — 10 years ago
2011 vintage. Medium ruby. Quite closed. Floral, red fruit profile. Medium acidity. Medium minus tannins. Soft and gentle. Bit green in parts. Medium plus on finish. Slightly dilute to suggest this has many years of development ahead of it. Decent and elegant. — 11 years ago
Pale gold. Lemons and grassy on the nose, dry, good but not overly acid, gentle uncomplicated fruit. Good. — 13 years ago

The first audible of the night was this stunning 2015 Hubert Lignier M-S-D 1er VV that John pulled out in between the Rabbit and Beef courses. Full disclosure, I get twitterpated when a bottle of H. Lignier gets opened. There’s just something in the style that’s mesmerizing across the range, from the Passetoutgrain to the Clos de la Roche. These are wines of power and grace. Well fruited but with layers of complexity. John considers this to be the best value of H. Lignier’s offerings. Hard to argue. — 7 years ago
Very intense and dark color surprises and stuns. I'm assuming those are grape juices from Morey-St-Denis although I'm not sure. Well structured, tobacco, leather and dark cherry flavors. Like! — 9 years ago

From a producer I really enjoy - in fact a 1998 clos de la roche from Lignier was one of the wines that got me very interested in burgundy several years ago. This probably needs a couple more years but was enjoyable with a 2 hour decant. A bit of green stemminess on initial pop, which mostly dissipates. Lots of dark cherry. Very mouth filling with green herbs. Quite balanced with a nice refreshing finish with good acid. For $40 a buy for sure to see how it develops. — 6 years ago

My goodness this was delicious. Popped and poured; consumed over three days. Enjoyable on Day 1 after a few hours of air and through Day 3 as it slowly evolved. Initially very tightly wound. Red plums, earth and wet rocks. So pure and so energetic. Incredible length. This just seems to hang on. After trying this (and their transcendent Clos de la Roche), it’s clear that Hubert and Laurent are wizards. Quality at every level. Bravo. — 8 years ago

Lovely fragrant Chambolle. Prominent acidic backbone initially but softened with aeration. Perfumed and seductive, classic style. You can keep new world fruit bombs, this is class. — 10 years ago
Gorgeous light strawberry color. Beautiful red cherries, menthol, some spices, & rose petals. Quite fresh and very light. Complex. Succellent cherries, dry, with medium + acid, some rose petals, and spices. Light body with a gorgeous smooth finish. A great food wine. — 10 years ago

Lots of animal and gamy notes. Not my favorite but undoubtedly well made though… — 5 years ago
