17 - Domaine Hubert Lignier, Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru, 2021 (3 x Magnum)

Domaine Hubert Lignier, Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru, 2021 (3 x Magnum) Region: Burgundy Fill Level: excellent Capsule: ok Cork: ok Label: excellent appearance Packaging: original wooden case Notes: This little-known grand cru, covering 2.8 hectares, is unique in that it shares its appellation with Charmes-Chambertin, with which it also shares the same geological formation. Located in the far south of Gevrey-Chambertin, Mazoyères-Chambertin borders the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis and its Clos de la Roche. At Lignier, the 10-are parcel, located along the Route des Grands Crus, is planted on well-draining, stony, gravelly, and sandy soil, where the Mazoyères expresses itself with lightness, length, and elegance. 2021 is the estate’s first vintage under this appellation; previously, it was vinified under the Charmes-Chambertin appellation. Although 2021 was a year of freshness, it nonetheless produced remarkable wines. The winter, alternating between cold and mild, was followed by polar winds and severe frosts from April 6 to 9. Thanks to a warm and sunny June, flowering proceeded smoothly. Until mid-August, the summer was very wet and temperatures remained cool. Despite a fortnight of sunny, dry weather in late August, autumnal conditions returned in September, lasting until the harvest on September 23. In 2021, the wines are fresh, highly aromatic, and light, supported by firm, fine tannins.
