Lucie et Auguste Lignier
Lucie et Auguste Lignier produces Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits, Burgundy's most prestigious red wine region. The winery's portfolio centers on the appellations and premier cru sites that define this terroir: Clos de la Roche, a grand cru of singular depth and structure; Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru 'Les Chaffots', which expresses the mineral precision characteristic of the slope; and Cuvée Romain Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru. Each wine reflects the region's cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils, which yield Pinot Noir of transparency and aging potential. Wine Spectator has rated the winery's releases. The Côte de Nuits demands patience and precision in the cellar—qualities evident in these bottlings, which balance the elegance and structure Burgundy's finest vineyards are known to produce.
