Domaine Hubert Lignier, Pinot Noir, Gevrey-Chambertin Regnard, Côte de Nuits, France 2023

Regnard is a south-facing site in the southern sector of Gevrey-Chambertin, and the Ligniers are in contract to access a parcel of Pinot Noir here between 40 and 70 years of age. This is a fresh, silken wine with intense minerality and marked tension—a wonderful counterpoint to the more somber “Les Seuvrées”—and its modest 20% new oak is all but invisible.
