Hubert Lignier Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 (750ML)

94-97 JM / 93-95 WA / 92-94 VM

The holding is in fact in Mazoyères-Chambertin, in the upper part. Rich glowing purple. Beautifully floral nose, roses and fine ripe cherries, very stylish. A lovely little touch from the stems, this stretches out beautifully with such finesse. Tasted: November 2019—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is showing very well, unwinding in the glass with a deep bouquet of red berries, cherries and cassis mingled with hints of smoked meats, black truffle and loamy soil. Full-bodied, concentrated and enveloping, its ample core of lively fruit is framed by a muscular chassis of ripe, powdery tannins. –William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from the Mazoyères side. It has a very attractive bouquet of black cherries, wild strawberry, cola and touches of brown spices. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, the 30% whole bunch lending a subtle earthiness on the midpalate, although I would like a little more substance to show on the finish. Enjoy this over the next 15 years.-- Neal Martin, Vinous Media
