La Riotte tends to be the most feminine, gentle, and lithe of Lignier's Morey 1er Crus. It is marked by a beautifully spice-in- flected, floral nose, but the palate is chiseled and tensile in its youth, demanding a bit of patience. Firm but filigree tannins frame a very long, ringing finish, promising great things down the road.
Hubert Lignier Description
Among Lignier’s ever-impressive trio of Morey-Saint-Denis premier crus, “La Riotte” tends to be the most feminine, gentle, and lithe. Located on a gentle part of the slope at the foot of the grand cru Clos-Saint-Denis, the vineyard is full of small stones, and the wine boasts a firm, tightly woven minerality from which all of the other elements of the wine seem to flow. The wine is marked by a beautifully spice-inflected, floral nose, but the palate is chiseled and tensile at the moment, demanding a bit of patience. Firm but filigree tannins frame a very long, ringing finish, promising great things down the road.
