H & L Lignier Pommard En Brescul 2018Varietal: Pinot Noir Although the Lignier domaine is historically associated with the Cte de Nuits, their firmly classical house style melds beautifully with the mineral rigor of Pommard. Hubert and Laurent ventured into this zone during the period of uncertainty following Romains death, and this En Brescul comes from a 0. 4 hectare parcel of 20 year old vines on which the family has a 25 year lease. Effusively stony, this 2018 presents mouthwatering

fruit forward and beautifully balanced

Maxem is a micro-producer

The Kékfrankos is spontaneously fermented with native yeasts

was inspired by the Petit Clos adjacent to the Château de Léoville

Fermentation in concrete vats without epoxi

forming a great natural south-east-facing bowl

We steward the land because it is our legacy

The palate is composed and lighter weight

the soil here is much richer in heavy clay
