Lignier-Michelot
-
Burghound (93)
(from a .30 ha parcel; 60% whole cluster). An exuberantly spicy and elegant perfumed nose displays subtle floral elements on the black cherry and essence of plum aromas. There is again a gorgeous mouthfeel to the middleweight flavors that are refined, even classy, on the youthfully austere, balanced and lingering finish that is highly complex. Lovely and worth considering.Inc. VAT£624.80 -
Vinous (87-89)
(from vines in Les Chenevery, Très Girard and Les Cognées, the latter site on the other side of the Route Nationale; 80% vendange entier; also harvested after the rain): Higher-pitched on the nose than the Rue de Vergy, offering scents of kirsch, violet and minerals. Juicier in the mouth too, displaying good penetration but modest flesh to its black fruit and violet flavors. The slightly drying finish hints at bitter chocolate.Inc. VAT£89.33 -
(6x75cl) 2020Vinous (90-92)
Containing just over 80% whole bunch, the 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes has a vibrant, fresh and delineated bouquet that gains intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a mixture of red and black fruit. Grainy tannins, fresh acidity, this has commendable precision on the finish. I envisage this ageing well in bottle.Inc. VAT£537.73 -
(6x75cl) 2021Vinous (87-89)
The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes just misses a little vibrancy and presence on the nose, lighter and perhaps more transparent than the Rue de Vergy. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a mixture of red and black fruit. It's smooth and harmonious, the 80% whole bunches neatly integrated… It is just missing a bit of verve and amplitude.Inc. VAT£523.36
