Hubert Lignier, Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes, 2022
Hubert Lignier’s Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru “Vieilles Vignes” is one of the domaine’s signature wines—a blend of several old-vine Premier Cru plots, all located mid-slope where the soils are thin, rocky, and full of mineral tension. These vines, many over 70 years old, deliver low yields and intense concentration, making this cuvée a standout for its depth, structure, and earthy resonance.
The 2022 vintage adds a layer of ripe fruit and accessibility—black cherry, plum skin, forest floor, and spice, backed by firm tannins and a long, stony finish. There's an almost architectural sense of balance here: broad-shouldered and grounded, but with lift and finesse to carry it long into the future.
Drink it from 2027 onward, or lay it down for 15+ years—it has the bones of a Grand Cru and the soul of true Morey. Best with game, mushroom dishes, or slow evenings where the wine gets the spotlight.
