Les Saint Georges Hospices de Nuits Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

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

Aux Combottes Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1996

Kinda disappointing. Bought at auction. High hopes. Very good acidity and beautiful nose. Earthy but so thin and didn't quite have the elegance of other top Gevry's. — 9 years ago

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2011

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

Vieilles Vignes Morey-Saint-Denis Pinot Noir 2009

Initially weak spritzy wine. No back bone or depth. After one day in fridge. Cedar cherries on nose. Deeper ruby fruit sweet palate finish. Decent minerality lacks power and a little sloppy slutty with fruit. Cherry cough syrup. — 12 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2015

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

La Justice Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2016

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

Bourgogne Passetoutgrains Gamay Pinot Noir 2016

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
