    Vinous (93-95)

    The 2017 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru contains 100% whole bunch fruit, matured in one new barrel and one used. This has a more expressive bouquet than the Clos de la Roche, featuring ample ripe red currant, blueberry and raspberry preserve aromas tinged with pressed flowers. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry and offers a little more penetration and tension than the Clos de la Roche. Almost sorbet-fresh on the vibrant finish. Wonderful.

    Discover the exquisite Lignier Michelot Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Aux Charmes 2017, a magnificent expression of the famed French Pinot Noir. Sourced from the spectacular Morey-Saint-Denis appellation in Burgundy, this elegant wine reflects the pedigree of its prestigious terroir. Lignier Michelot, a highly-respected producer with a long-standing reputation for excellence, meticulously cultivates vines that are over 60 years old in chalky-clay soils, producing grapes of superlative quality. The pinot noir grapes for the 2017 vintage were handpicked, before undergoing traditional vinification in oak barrels to harness the unique flavours and complexities required for this prized wine.

    The Lignier Michelot Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Aux Charmes 2017 offers a balance of ripe fruit, expressive tannins and a harmonious finish. Dark berry, forest floor and spicy notes on the nose segue to an ever-evolving palate that promises a luxurious, long-lasting finish. The benchmark for classic, elegant Burgundy wine.

    Vinous (92-94)

    The 2012 Morey Saint Denis Aux Chezeaux impresses for its breadth and richness, while the 100% whole clusters add a dimension of brightness that balances some of the more overt elements. Deep layers of dark blue fruit, cloves, menthol and pine add resonance and volume as the wine blossoms over time. There is a lot to like here.

    Vinous (89-91)

    (vinified with 80% whole clusters): Bright, full red. More complex and perfumed than the Charmes, with its raspberry and blueberry aromas lifted by brown spices (Lignier noted that the Charmes was more complex than this wine before the racking but is mute today). Quite tight and savory in the mouth, showing little in the way of early sweetness. Finishes firmly tannic and spicy. This premier cru will need patience.

    The Lignier Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers 2019 is an exquisite manifestation of French viticulture. Produced by the esteemed Lignier Michelot, this wine is meticulously created from vibrant Pinot Noir grapes handpicked from Les Murgers vineyard, deeply revered amongst Burgundy's elite 1er Cru sites. This vintage, notable for its favourable growing conditions, imbues the wine with rich intensity.

    Employing traditional methods, Lignier Michelot pays tribute to the distinctive terroir of Nuits-Saint-Georges. This wine extols layers of complex black cherry, raspberry, and floral notes underpinned by a beam of minerals, demonstrating a balance that gracefully holds its structural richness and bright acidity. Lengthy cellaring envisages increased nuance and complexity.

    The expertise behind the Lignier Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers 2019 is meritorious of its stature amongst connoisseurs. It truly epitomises the finesse of premium Burgundy.

    Vinous (92-94)

    (this holding, mostly from vines planted in 1990, yielded 28 hectoliters per hectare in 2005, according to Lignier) Deep, bright ruby-red color. Highly nuanced, very pure nose combines briary black cherry, brown spices and licorice, with soil-inflected pepper, dried flowers and eucalyptus. Suave on entry, then complex, tactile and intensely flavored in the middle palate, showing more finesse of texture than the Faconnieres and a juicy core of dark fruits. This mounts and gains in thickness toward the back, finishing with firm tannins and lovely subtle complexity. Lignier says he would wait eight years to drink the crus in 2005.

    Vinous (92+)

    (30% new oak, or roughly the same percentage as all of the 2015 crus here): Bright dark red. Very sexy, subtly complex scents of dark raspberry, black cherry, licorice, coffee and mocha, with suggestions of liqueur-like ripeness. Densely packed and thick, with subtle sweetness supported by ripe acidity. Quite juicy and savory in the mouth, then firmly tannic but not dry on the very long, rising back end. The yield here was a normal 42 hectoliters per hectare. This wine struck me as a bit New World in character when I first tasted it from barrel, but today it's clearly communicating its Morey terroir. (Lignier did not open a bottle of his Clos Saint-Denis, as he has just 140 bottles--plus another 140 for the owner of the vineyard.)

    Vinous (94)

    The 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is a little confit and jammy on the nose, though the fruit is attractive, wild strawberry and raspberry, touches of orange pith. It coheres impressively in the glass despite a touch of reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with chiselled tannins. Plenty of freshness here, saline, vibrant and bright, this fans out gloriously towards the finish with a persistent, spicy, slightly exotic finish that does not detract from typicité. Big things ahead. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

    The 2019 Clos de La Roche Grand Cru contains 80% whole bunches this year and underwent just a couple of punch-downs. There is a tiny amount of reduction on the nose as I taste it, gradually opening to reveal raspberry, blackcurrant and violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins matched with a very fine bead of acidity. This is a very cohesive and refined Grand Cru with a lilting, carefree finish that belies its inherent complexity and persistent. Easy to under-estimate this, I am sure it will age with style.

    Vinous (90)

    The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis en la Rue de Vergy has a bouquet similar to the 2018 but without the same level of ripeness. There is fine transparency here and that translates across to the palate, which is well balanced with fine-boned tannins and a precise finish.

    The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Faconnières 1er Cru, which contains 70-80% whole bunches, has a perfumed and floral bouquet of violets and iris. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, very focused and perhaps the most sophisticated of all Virgile Lignier’s cuvées. He comments that this was closed 10 days ago but to his surprise has completely changed in recent days. On this showing, it will surely be the "must-buy" from Lignier-Michelot’s range. Superb.
