Hubert & Laurent Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru ‘Blanchards’ 2021
$425
This 66 ares vineyard lies just below the Grand Cru of Clos des Lambrays and the village. The vines are all 40+ years old and the soil is stony, silty and drains well, making a wine that is delicate and sensual. This is the smallest 1er Cru in Morey and is dead centre of the appellation and so is a perfect example.
?Here too there is a subtle trace of wood framing the cool aromas of crushed leaf, plum and newly turned earth. The less concentrated but finer medium weight flavors offer good if not special depth and persistence on the slightly lean if refreshing finale.
