Hubert Lignier Nuits St. Georges Les Poisets 1er Cru 2015

Hubert Lignier’s Nuits St. Georges Les Poisets 1er Cru 2015 is a refined Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir that combines floral lift, dark fruit, and a distinctly mineral edge. Sourced from a parcel acquired by the domaine in 2010, it shows the kind of depth and precision that has made Hubert Lignier one of Burgundy’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Premier Cru shows a beautiful burgundy-red hue with lively intensity. The nose opens with cassis, black cherry, and delicate floral notes, followed by subtle limestone minerality and a faint “Vosne-like” perfume that brings added elegance and complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and focused, with crisp acidity and a touch of grip on the attack before becoming smoother and more seamless through the finish. Black cherries, blueberry, and a gentle spice note give it charm and dimension, while the structure suggests excellent balance and a drinking window of 10 years or more.

Production
This wine comes from Les Poisets, a Premier Cru parcel in Nuits-Saint-Georges, where the soils lend a fine mineral backbone and a more polished expression of Pinot Noir. Hubert Lignier works with a strong respect for terroir, using fruit from carefully farmed parcels and avoiding pesticides and herbicides to preserve vineyard health and purity of expression. Vinification follows a traditional Burgundian approach, with an emphasis on extracting depth, structure, and concentration while maintaining freshness and elegance. The result is a wine that reflects both the specificity of the site and the domaine’s classic, ageworthy style.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast duck, guinea fowl, mushroom dishes, veal, or game birds, as well as earthy vegetarian plates such as lentil stew or mushroom risotto. Serve at around 15–17°C. Decanting for about 30–60 minutes is recommended if enjoyed young, though it can also be poured straight from the bottle for a more delicate expression.

Producer
Hubert Lignier is a five-generation family domaine with roots dating back to 1880, when Jacques Lignier acquired vines in Morey-Saint-Denis in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Today, the estate is run by Hubert Lignier and his son Laurent, with around nine hectares across some of Burgundy’s most prestigious appellations, including Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Known for wines with depth, structure, and notable aging potential, the domaine has long been admired for its traditional Burgundian style and meticulous vineyard work. With its new cellar in Morey-Saint-Denis and a reputation built on elegance and concentration, Hubert Lignier remains one of the region’s benchmark producers.
