Importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant writes: "In this instance the Ligniers have developed a habit of purchasing on an annual basis this very special cuvée that belongs to the Hospices of Nuits Saint Georges. The 1er Cru 'Les Didiers' is a 2.45 hectares monopole of the Hospices de Nuits. [This] is from a parcel within Les Didiers that is planted to 65 year old vines (as of 2012). After the initial wine is made, the Ligniers take possession of the wine and do the elevage according to their style. The wine is one the most rich and masculine of all wines from Nuits."
