Hubert Lignier Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023 Sancerre it can support several yearsThe Lignier family owns a mere tenth of a hectare in the Mazoyeres Haut climat of this Gevrey Chambertin grand cru. From their old vines (planted in 1948), they render a wine of immense power and concentration, yet always with a sense of underlying refinement, and a mineral core of incredible depth. The wine has all but swallowed its 30% new wood even at this youthful stage.
