Nestled on the Route des Grands Crus, between Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin, the village of Morey-Saint-Denis enjoys an ideal position. With an area of approximately 150 hectares, the appellation is home to five Grands Crus, including the renowned Clos Saint-Denis and Clos de la Roche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis winery is a family story that began three generations ago in the small village of Morey-Saint-Denis. Under the current leadership of Laure and Virgile Lignier (the great-grandson of the original founder, who took over the business in 2000), the vineyard spans 12 hectares, divided into around sixty plots in some of the finest climates of the Côte de Nuits. The villages of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Fixin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Nuits-Saint-Georges are thus represented here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaure and Virgile attach great importance to working the soil, ensuring the preservation of biodiversity and the typicity of their great Burgundian terroirs. They pay very close attention to their 10 hectares of vines, adopting rigorous cultivation practices (the estate transitioned to organic farming in 2010). Virgile Lignier, mindful of the purity and quality of his wines, minimizes interventions in the cellar to preserve their integrity. He also strives every day to further develop the range of wines available at the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Domaine Lignier-Michelot, every step is carried out with the utmost care, from the work in the vineyards to the winemaking process. This approach truly emphasizes the richness and unique expression of each terroir. The wines produced by the estate stand out for their suppleness, delicate tannins, aromatic purity, and strong aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tw-menu\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Mid crimson-ruby. The whole bunches (80%) make their presence felt on the nose, along with a more robust fruit than the graceful Charmes. More intensity of the red and black berries as well on the palate. As always, Faconnières offers a Morey of substance and class, with a particularly long finish.

There is a lovely sense of underlying tension suffusing the sleek and beautifully detailed medium weight flavours that exude a subtle minerality on the compact, firm and built-to-age finale. This is also lovely and I particularly like the balance.
