2023 Domaine Hubert Lignier Bourgogne Passetoutgrain “Aux Poirelots”, Burgundy, France
This wine bursts with crunchy red berries, sweet spices, and a gentle earthiness that grounds all the bright fruit. It’s silky, fresh, and feather-light, but there's a surprising depth and structure underneath, giving it more punch than you might expect from a Passetoutgrain.
ABOUT THIS WINE
Produced from two varieties: Gamay planted in 1960 and Pinot Noir planted in 1998. From a vineyard covering 40 ares in the commune of Morey St Denis, this wine offers immediate drinking pleasure and can be enjoyed with everyday meals.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The vineyard is mainly composed of old vines planted through massale selections, with the oldest dating back to 1936. Since the 1990s, they have embraced soil cultivation practices such as plowing and hoeing, excluding the use of herbicides and insecticides.
At the estate, a conscientious approach to both the vines and the surrounding environment, as well as the preservation of biodiversity, is carefully considered. This becomes even more crucial considering the impact on the vineyard in the face of climate change.
Since 2006, the estate has been following organic practices, and in 2016, Laurent initiated the “AB” (Agriculture Biologique) certification process, which was officially certified in 2019.
