Pinot Noir
MED-BODIED, CHERRY, BLACK CURRANT, GRAPHITE, EARTH, OAK
With its soft, supple texture and palate full of delicate red fruit & seductive, earthy notes, ‘Clos Prieur’ starts out as exceptionally elegant for a Gevrey...it’s not until the long finish, however, that the wine picks up firm tannins and more weight, revealing a more serious & brooding side.

In keeping with their mission to preserve and protect the purity of fruit of their wines, Domaine Hubert Lignier has long followed the gospel of “lutte raisonée (sensible combat) in their viticulture — for example, chemical pesticides are used only when necessary, and the vineyard is tilled so that no herbicides are used. ‘Regnard’ is a fresh, silken wine with intense minerality, marked tension, and now showing impressive restraint — the modest amount of new oak used is barely perceptible.
