Description:
It has a very perfumed, floral bouquet with earthy tannins imparted by the 30% whole-bunch fruit. Order from the Largest & Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! , Wine Advocate: Lignier's 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvr�es is showing nicely in bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of plums, cassis, sweet soil tones, licorice, dark chocolate and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's concentrated and tightly wound, with a chassis of rich, powdery tannins and a lively spine of acidity. This will require patience. The 2019s, according to Laurent Lignier, possess "all the characteristics of great Pinot Noir," and that's an analysis with which I would concur. He has once again produced a fine vintage for both his domaine holdings and n�gociant sources�the latter, amounting to some 3.5 hectares of vines, now clearly distinguished in our reviews. As readers will know, winemaking is pretty classical at this address, with a short cold maceration, two to three weeks' maceration with one pig�age and one r�montage per day and maturation in barrels, some third of which are new�if possible, without racking�for fully 22 months in the domaine's cold cellars. Lignier began picking on September 16, and alcohol levels range between 13.5% and 14.7%, the latter extreme representing the exception rather than the rule. Tasting through the wines, the vast majority of which were in barrel and had not been racked, the most obvious analogy was with the domaine's 2015s at the same stage�but I look forward to revisiting them from bottle to confirm that impression., Burghound: An attractively fresh and surprisingly elegant array offers up notes of earthy dark currant, plum and a whisper of spice. There is good energy and delineation to the lighter weight flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the delicious, moderately firm and more complex finale.

Producer: Hubert Lignier Ratings: WA | 90 BH | 91 Vintage: 2018 Size: 750ml ABV: 13.5% Varietal: Pinot Noir Country/Region: France, Gevrey-Chambertin The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvr�es suffered some millerandage this vintage and produced particularly small bunches. It has a very perfumed, floral bouquet with earthy tannins imparted by the 30% whole-bunch fruit. The fleshy palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a silky texture and a gentle, caressing finish that is utterly charming. Reviews:
