Subtle though still easily perceptible wood influence can be found on the spicy black currant, violet and softly gamy nose. The seductive and caressing but punchy and powerful larger-bodied flavors also conclude in a youthfully austere, serious and compact finale that displays first-rate persistence. The Lignier Clos de la Roche is almost always excellent if given sufficient time in bottle and the 2023 version should honor that tradition as well. Drink: 2035+.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous 95-97:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2023 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru has a perfumed bouquet that's quite floral with incense and bergamot tea scents and fruit that blossoms, but only after five minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, tea leaf and bay leaf with a gradual crescendo toward its intense, mineral-driven finish. This is superb. Drink: 2026-2050.

The classic Clos de la Roche from Domaine Hubert Lignier is impressive, deeply-coloured wine, with a pronounced aroma of black cherries, peony, and spice. The old vines provide small bunches even in 2023, giving a concentration on the palate that impresses in this sunny year. Two-thirds of the grapes were planted by Laurent’s father in 1964-1965; the balance (in Fremières) by his grandfather in 1955. One-third of the harvest was fermented as whole clusters, and the wine is ageing now in cask (one-third new). Drinking Window: 2030-2070.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJasper Morris 95-97:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two thirds comes from Les Monts Luisants, and one third from Les Fremières. A deep crimson\/purple. The wonderful bouquet has all the charm in the world plus complexity. Here the richness of the fruit suits the grand cru structure of this wine. Dark berry fruit that flows cross the palate and covers the well-balanced tannins. The 2023 Clos de la Roche has plenty of energy as well as fluidity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hubert Lignier","offers":[{"title":"2023 (Ready Stock)","offer_id":52462741487938,"sku":"BGD052472","price":695.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2023 *Arriving Q3 2026","offer_id":52794021118274,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/2872\/2498\/files\/HubertLignierClosdelaRocheGrandCru750ml.png?v=1774321053","url":"https:\/\/www.grandvin.com.sg\/products\/hubert-lignier-clos-de-la-roche-grand-cru-red-wine","provider":"Grand Vin Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
