Family estate since 1880

5 generations have succeeded one another to make Domaine Hubert Lignier one of the benchmarks of great Burgundy.

Today, the father-son duo, Hubert and Laurent Lignier, manage 9 hectares of vines, mainly on the Côte de Nuits. Since the early 90s, the vines have been ploughed, excluding all weedkillers and insecticides, and since 2011, they have been going organic. Their winemaking and ageing methods are low-interventionist. They produce crus that combine freshness, finesse and elegance, yet remain solid with substance and a delicious length on the palate.

Barrel ageing (20 to 30% new barrels) is long, 20 to 22 months, on lees and without racking after malolactic fermentation. The wines are bottled by gravity, without fining or filtration, to preserve their freshness and ageing potential. "We aim to create authentic, sensual wines that express their respective terroirs," explains Laurent Lignier. Domaine Lignier wines are clearly models of generous Burgundy that age gracefully and belong in every cellar.
