Tasting notes
The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte opens in the glass with notes of cherries, sweet red berries, raw cocoa, spices and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and sapid, with fine depth at the core and an immensely charming, open profile, it will offer a broad drinking window. Lignier observes that this site never suffers from hydric stress and came in at the highest alcohol level this year—that's to say, in the low 14s.

The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte 1er Cru has a tender bouquet with red berry fruit, crushed limestone and rose petal aromas, more Chambolle-like than Morey. The palate is quite rich and generous, nicely structured, sweet towards the finish that manages to disguise the 14.7° alcohol. If you desire one of Domaine Hubert Lignier’s more heady 2019s then this is the place to come.
