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. After a wet start to the year, the 2011 vintage enjoyed a mild spring, marked by early and even flowering in May. June, which was exceptionally hot and sunny, was followed by a more moderate summer, alternating between heat, storms, and rain. The vintage will yield fresh, pure, and refined wines. 2015 was a sun-drenched vintage. Following a mild and wet winter, the warm and bright spring encouraged rapid and early flowering. Heat and drought set in starting in June, tempered by water reserves and summer rains, which reignited the ripening process through September. 2015 is the epitome of a balanced vintage that combines fruit, body, ripe tannins, and fine acidity. Its aging potential is remarkable. The 2016 vintage, following a wet and exceptionally mild winter, experienced a cold and rainy spring and was marked by a severe frost at the end of April. The heat and sunshine of June and July allowed the vines to catch up and reach optimal ripeness through the harvest, which began on September 28 at the estate. The 2016 Pinot Noirs are precise and fresh, with silky tannins. Domaine Hubert Lignier will be pleased to include the winning bidder in its annual allocation.
