Domaine Hubert Lignier
Les Saint Georges Hospices de Nuits Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Double decanted at Ma Cuisine. Charming from the get go. Attractive nose of sweet spices and cool red berry fruit. Quite Vosne like. Very elegant and smooth on the palate, while slight astringency gives way to NSG. Later learned that the fruit is owned by Hospice de Nuits. Even more impressive considering Hubert Lignier doesn't own the vineyards. Personally a fan of Les St George made by Lignier and Faiveley. I have go to try the Chevillon and Gouge to see how the style differs for this terroir!
