The Morey-St-Denis Les Chaffots 1er Cru 2002 from Hubert Lignier is a fascinating Burgundy that impressively captures the characteristics of this outstanding Premier Cru vineyard in Morey-Saint-Denis. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red with slightly ripe reflections. The bouquet is complex and seductive, with a perfect balance of dark fruits such as blackberries and black cherries, floral notes of violets, and subtle earthy nuances. Added to this are subtle spice aromas, a hint of tobacco, and fine mineral undertones that reflect the cool elegance of the terroir.

On the palate, the wine is powerful yet refined, with a velvety texture and perfectly integrated tannins. The fruit flavors are ripe and concentrated, complemented by lively acidity that provides freshness and length. Spicy and slightly smoky notes lend the wine additional character, while the finish is long, smooth, and carried by a fine mineral note. This vintage demonstrates an impressive harmony between structure and finesse and is a wonderful example of Hubert Lignier's precision and craftsmanship. Perfectly aged, it offers the highest level of enjoyment now, yet remains a wine with potential for years to come.
