Domaine Hubert Lignier (formerly Hubert Lignier & Fils and also known as Hubert et Laurent Lignier) is a family-run domaine in Burgundy, producing both red and wines. The estate is located in Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits subregion and is best known for its Pinot Noir wines from the grand cru vineyard Clos de la Roche. It is owned and run by the father-son duo Hubert and Laurent Lignier. The estate is made up of around nine hectares (22 acres) of vineyard land that ranges from the basic Bourgogne appellation to grand cru. Vineyard holdings are primarily located in the villages of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Chambolle-Musigny, with newer vineyards acquired in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Pommard. Pinot Noir is the primary grape variety produced by the domaine, but Chardonnay, Gamay, and Aligoté are also included in the portfolio. Hubert Lignier practices traditional methods in the vineyard to showcase the terroir of each appellation, but practices interventionalist methods for vinification. Wines are left to age for 20-22 months in barrel, and are left unracked and on the lees after malolactic fermentation. Hubert Lignier wines are bottled without fining. Hubert Lignier himself had stepped back from running his domaine in the early 1990s, leaving the reins to his son, Romain. Romain tragically died in 2004 and Hubert returned to winemaking with his other son Laurent. The transition was not smooth, however. Following his death, Romain's widow, Kellen, established the Lucie & Auguste Lignier label (named after the couple's young children) in 2006, using vines leased to Romain by his father. Over this period, Hubert and Laurent Lignier produced wines under the Hubert Lignier & Fils title, with limited access to fruit under the sharecropping agreement with Kellen Lignier. Kellen Lignier produced wines under the Lucie & Auguste Lignier title until 2013. Since then, all Hubert Lignier's vineyard holdings are now labeled under his name. " Covering an area of 41 ares, this terraced parcel on the north side of Pommard overlooks the town of Beaune and the Clos des Mouches. The vines are planted on 3 terraces due to the strong slopes on this area. Weakened by three years of hail (2012, 2013, 2014), its youth and vigour were able to give it new life and hope. The wines express minerality and freshness." WINERY.
