The showers in August of 2015 “kept some sap in the grapes,” said Laurent Lignier in December, “but the freshness of the vintage is a mystery to me.” The Ligniers harvested on the late side, from September 8 through 15, although they picked most of their crus during the first four days, before the rainfall on the 12th. Grape sugars were in the high 13% to 13.5% range (the Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte was 14.2%!) and only the Gevrey-Chambertin La Justice was chaptalized. The malos finished between January and May and the wines were still on their lees in barrel in December, not yet racked. Lignier now vinifies most of his wines with 15% to 20% whole clusters.
My tasting at Lignier has become a mini-marathon in recent years, as there are now quite a few négociant bottlings here. In fact, Laurent Lignier showed me no fewer than 14 Bourgogne Rouge and village wines before presenting his first premier cru.
