I tasted this year with Romain Lignier's father Hubert, as Romain was recovering from a serious operation in September.Hubert described 2002 as an average-size crop from a normal year. We had rain but not a huge amount," he noted. And acidity levels were correct."Although the 2001s here are less fleshy, Lignier has a fondness for the estate's top cuvees from the earlier vintage.(Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Shekomeko NY

We Burgundians like freshness and purity of fruit," said Romain Lignier, explaining why he prefers the 2001 vintage to 2000 despite considering the two sets of wines to be of roughly equal quality. No vintage is perfect," he added. The Achilles heel of 2001 is its slightly green tannins; in 2000 it was fruit that was a bit cooked, while in 1999 it was a degree of dilution due to the high yields." The Ligniers have neither fined nor filtered their wines since the '92 vintage.
