Lignier Pere & Fils

The Lignier family saga shows no sign of having reached a satisfactory resolution, and at the moment the wines from this domain in Morey-Saint-Denis are being bottled under two labels: Lignier Pere et Fils (a new name that allows Hubert to supplement his production with a small negociant business), and Domaine Lucie et Auguste Lignier, the new label of Kellen Lignier, the American widow of Hubert's late son Romain. Hubert Lignier essentially vinified the 2005s (Romain died in the fall of 2004) but daughter-in-law Kellen bottled her share of the wine while Hubert bottled his; the two sets of wines are in the market under their respective labels. Kellen's team farmed the estate vineyards in 2006 and she vinified most of the wines, with Hubert taking his share in wine-except for the Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes and Clos de la Roche. He took the fruit from these vineyards at harvest time and vinified these two wines in the cellar under his home. As Hubert is a talented and confident winemaker with a track record for excellence stretching back decades, it was hardly surprising that these wines were far and away the most promising '06s Lignier showed me in November, along with an Hospices de Nuits Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Didiers, which he purchased at auction.
