Domaine Hubert Lignier 2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru AOC

The Lignier family owns a mere tenth of a hectare in the Mazoyères-Haut climat within the grand cru of Charmes-Chambertin. From their old vines (planted in 1948), they render a wine of immense power and concentration, yet always with a sense of underlying refinement, and a mineral core of incredible depth. The wine has all but swallowed its 30% new wood even at this youthful stage. (Starting with this vintage, the Ligniers no longer label this as Charmes-Chambertin but as Mazoyères to more accurately specify its terroir.
