The Domaine Hubert Lignier Bourgogne Aligoté "Aux Poirelots" delivers a vibrant, pale gold expression of the Aligoté grape, showcasing an aromatic profile of fresh lemon zest, green apple, and subtle white floral notes intertwined with a distinct saline minerality. On the palate, the wine is immediately striking for its tension and brightness, offering a crisp, mouth-watering structure that carries flavors of tart citrus and wet stone through to a clean, invigorating finish. This is a lean and precise wine, characterized by its lively structure and refreshing clarity rather than weight.
The history of Domaine Hubert Lignier is rooted in Morey-Saint-Denis, with the family cultivating vines in the Côte de Nuits for several generations. The modern era of the estate was shaped significantly by Hubert Lignier, who took over from his father, Jacques, in 1992 and expanded the domaine's holdings and reputation for producing exceptional, traditionally-styled Burgundies. Following Hubert’s untimely death in 2004, the domaine experienced a complex period of transition and partial division, with his son Laurent taking the reins. Laurent Lignier now manages the remaining core of the family estate, meticulously focusing on crafting terroir-driven wines across their prestigious parcels, maintaining a legacy of purity, elegance, and age-worthiness that defines this highly respected Burgundian producer.
