Overview:
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Regnard from Domaine Hubert Et Laurent Lignier is a stunning expression of this revered Burgundy appellation. Crafted from a selection of grapes sourced from the prestigious “Reniard” and “Epointures” climats, this wine captures the essence of Gevrey-Chambertin with finesse and depth. The combination of older vines, dating back as far as 1950, and Lignier’s minimal-intervention approach in the cellar result in a wine that is both approachable in its youth and capable of ageing beautifully. With a dedication to quality and a commitment to showcasing the true character of the terroir, this wine delivers a harmonious and elegant experience.
Tasting Notes:
The 2020 vintage opens with a bouquet of ripe plums, peonies, and a delicate hint of warm spices, underscored by the earthy tones that define Gevrey-Chambertin. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, offering velvety textures and concentrated fruit flavours. The wine reveals layers of dark berries, particularly black cherries and blackberries, intertwined with subtle floral notes and earthy complexity. The powdery tannins provide a smooth structure, while the finish is long, sapid, and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of fruit and spice. This is a wine with a vibrant, charming nature, yet it also has the depth to evolve and improve with age, making it a delightful choice now or in the coming years. Perfect with roasted meats, game, or aged cheeses, it encapsulates the elegance and complexity for which Hubert Lignier is renowned.
