Domaine Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2019

5-ha Domaine has now passed to his grandsons

is owned and run by Pierre Martin

Sauzet is still synonymous with high-quality

this pale pink rosado calls to mind a nervy Txakolina

Bouquet: Fragrant

The growing area is the Sancerre Controlled Appellation area

blackberry and black cherry

Its minerality still comes through and there’s flint to balance the natural fat

Though his father wanted Paul to consider winemaking

Varietal: Chennin Blanc

“Récital” delivers the ethereal color

the soil is worked immediately around the vine but the growth in the rows between the vines remains throughout the growing season
