The 2023 Hubert Lignier Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Poisets is a beautifully structured Pinot Noir from a highly regarded vineyard on the northern side of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Produced by the esteemed Lignier family using organic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking, this cuvée highlights the village’s classic combination of depth, intensity and age-worthy structure. The excellent 2023 vintage has delivered impressive fruit purity while maintaining the freshness and precision that define the domaine’s style.
The nose reveals black cherry, redcurrant and wild raspberry alongside notes of violet, sweet spice and subtle forest floor. The palate is concentrated and finely balanced, with vibrant dark berry fruit supported by silky tannins and bright acidity. Hints of crushed stone, graphite and earthy savoury complexity add depth, while the finish is long, structured and elegantly persistent. Les Poisets offers a refined expression of Nuits-Saint-Georges, balancing power with finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir that combines structure, elegance and excellent ageing potential. Complex and food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with duck, roast lamb, beef fillet and mushroom dishes. Enjoy with a short decant if drinking now, or cellar through 2040–2045 as it develops greater savoury depth, truffle notes and classic Burgundian complexity.
