Domaine Hubert Lignier 'Les Chaffots' 1er Cru Morey Saint Denis 2022 1.5L VERDELHO and aged in white AmericanThe Ligniers own just under half a hectare of 50 year old vines in this great premier cru, which sits just above Clos Saint Denis on the slope. This vineyard yields a wine of brooding tension, black of fruit and stern, with a rigorous acid profile and real power underpinning it. Les Chaffots is unfailingly a profound wine that beckons for some patience, but the purity of fruit is striking here, even in the context of such tight grained structure.
