Domaine Hubert Lignier, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, 1978 (1 x 750 ml) Region: Burgundy Fill Level: excellent Capsule: ok Cork: ok Label: excellent appearance Packaging: original wooden case Notes: Clos de la Roche takes its name in part from its terroir, which is particularly rocky and calcareous, consisting of large boulders and a shallow layer of soil. Paradoxically, however, it is not a clos. This Grand Cru traditionally produces powerful, textured wines with a very pronounced minerality. The Clos de la Roche from Domaine Hubert Lignier, sourced from two parcels in Monts Luisants and Frémières, is distinguished by its density and complexity. 1978 is one of those “miracle vintages,” often considered one of the best of the 20th century in Burgundy. After a harsh winter and a rainy spring, damp and cool conditions persisted until the end of July. The vintage was saved by a turn of fortune and ideal weather toward the end of the season: from August through October, heat, sunshine, and north winds kept the vines healthy. The harvest, which was very late, began in early October. A great vintage for aging, 1978 is distinguished by classic, balanced wines, endowed with a remarkable tannic structure and fine acidity.
