Domaine Lucie et Auguste Lignier Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte 2006 750ml

Domaine Lucie et Auguste Lignier was established by Kellen Lignier after the death of her husband Romain, son of Hubert Lignier, and is named for their two children. The estate draws on old family vines in Morey-Saint-Denis, including the premier cru La Riotte, which sits close to the village and gives a perfumed, finely structured Pinot Noir. In 2006 the Côte de Nuits saw a hot July, a cool, damp August and a warm September, producing open, charming wines with ripe fruit. Nearly two decades on, expect dried cherry, raspberry, forest floor, earth and spice with silky, resolved tannins. This mature red Burgundy is ready to drink now.
