From its clay-rich soil, it produces Pinot Noir with a firm structure and rich fruitiness. The producer is Hubert Lignier. Under the 5th generation owner Romain Lignier, the estate has been practicing organic farming since 2006, employing meticulous winemaking techniques such as hand-picking, careful selection, and gravity-fed bottling. 2018 was a bountiful year with favorable weather from flowering to harvest, resulting in a vintage that stands out for its plumpness derived from perfectly ripe fruit and mellow tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appearance is a bright garnet. The aroma is rich with ripe black cherry, plum compote, leather, and subtle nuances of cacao. On the palate, the fruit's sweetness and volume characteristic of 2018 come to the fore, with very smooth tannins. The acidity is gentle, softly supporting the whole, and the finish leaves a pleasant lingering sweetness of dark berries and a hint of spice. It is already fruity and approachable, enjoyable from a young stage after release. The estimated drinking window is from now until around 2028, making it a vintage suitable for relatively early enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoasted pork shoulder with red wine sauce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMushroom risotto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuck confit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eViticulture \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic farming practiced since 2006, AB certified in 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo herbicides or insecticides, soil management through plowing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwns old massal selection vines, including those planted in 1936\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-harvested with careful selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome whole-bunch fermentation for balance and complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle extraction using both remontage and pigeage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel aging for approximately 20 months, with 20-30% new oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnfined and unfiltered, bottled using gravity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Variety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlcohol Content\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRatings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Red, Medium-bodied to Full-bodied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: France \/ Burgundy \/ Côte de Nuits \/ Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru (Les Chaffots)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Code: C18R4192\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Secret Cellar","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":50128244834581,"sku":"C18R4192","price":36235.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/8895\/1061\/files\/Hubert_lignier_les_chaffots2019.webp?v=1787878687","url":"https:\/\/cepages-wines.com\/en\/products\/2018-morey-st-denis-1c-les-chaffots-dom-hubert-lignier","provider":"Cépages Wines | セパージュ ワイン","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
