Hubert Lignier - Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru 'La Riotte' - 2022

A mildly toasty nose is comprised by notes of poached plum, violet and crushed fennel. The sleeker and finer but not denser or more powerful flavors possess a seductive texture and good energy that carries over to the dusty, delicious and nicely balanced finale. While this well-made effort should age well, it should also be approachable after only 5 or so years of keeping. 90-92 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
