Domaine Hubert Lignier, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, MCMLV, 2017 (3 x 750ml) Region: Burgundy Fill Level: excellent Capsule: ok Cork: ok Label: excellent appearance Packaging: 3x original wooden cases Notes: The cuvée name 'MCMLV', 1955 in Roman numerals, refers to the planting date of the parcel from which it comes. The family acquired it at the farsighted instigation of Great-Grandmother Lignier, whose sharp eye had noticed that this plot never suffered from frost. Located in Monts-Luisants, the vines are distinguished by producing small berries with thick skins and concentrated juice. The estate's flagship cuvée, MCMLV is a limited prestige production of 400 to 600 bottles depending on the vintage, and pays tribute to the century-old style and history of the estate. The label was designed by the artist Joyce Delimata. The wines from this 25-are parcel, farmed biodynamically, are vinified in the traditional way: with 30% whole bunches, the harvest ferments in stainless-steel tanks for 20 days using native yeasts. After 21 months of ageing on the lees and in barrel, the wine is neither fined nor filtered at bottling. The MCMLV cuvée is distinguished by an intensity and depth typical of the cru and of the style of Domaine Hubert Lignier, as well as by a remarkable calcareous salinity. The 2017 vintage, the estate's first vintage, stands out for its elegance, balance and silky tannins. In 2017, the season begins with a very cold winter followed by a warm, dry spring. In April, bouts of frost relatively spare the Côte de Nuits. From June to August, warm spells alternate with more temperate ones; sporadic rains encourage gradual, even ripening. The harvest begins on 7 September at the estate. Domaine Hubert Lignier will be pleased to include the winning bidder in its annual allocation.
