A regular purchase chez Lignier, the 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Didiers (Hospices de Nuits) was, as usual, racked into twice-used barrels when it arrived at the winery. Exhibiting aromas of sweet berry fruit, cassis, raw cocoa and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and rather charming, with an elegant, seamless profile that contrasts with last year's showing.
