2022 Domaine Hubert Lignier Monthélie 1er Cru “Sur la Velle”, Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Surface area: 35 acres. Age of the vines: 40 to 60 years. Terroir located on gentle slopes facing southeast, above the village of Monthélie, with clayey, rocky, and shallow soil. A marvelous climate bathed in the southern sun, overlooking the picturesque village of Monthélie, its aromas are more floral, and the wine is characterized by beautiful density, silky tannins, and remarkable length.
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.
