From 50 year old vines in Les Drazey and Gamaires (MSD side of Chambolle).80% whole bunch vinification. A solid purple with a slightly stolid bouquet, not entirely typical of the appellation. The stems showing in a slightly vegetal fashion. Fresher behind, finishing with a considerable punch, reintr...

From a blend of Très Girard, Les Cognées and Chenevery80% whole bunch vinification. A full mid purple. The nose of fully ripe fruit, black and brambly, full and fleshy before the whole bunches provide a little more rigidity at the back. Halfway between En La Rue de Vergy and Chambolle in style. Dr...

90% whole bunch vinification. Mid purple, with a nose which shows the whole bunch a lot by giving some crushed strawberry on top of the darker fruit of Nuits-St-Georges. The latter appears further back on the palate but the tannins remain refined. Good length. Drink from 2028-2034. 91-94 Jasper Morr...

The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge includes 50% stems and has a lovely bouquet of dark cherries and red plums. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry. A regional red with fine body, even if it needs a little more Pinoté on the finish. 85-87 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).Drinking Window...

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes had no punch-downs during the fermentation and includes 80% whole bunches. It has a forward nose of blackberry, hints of cassis and violet petals. The medium-bodied palate offers sapid black and red fruit, a touch of cracked black pepper and quite a structu...

The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis En la Rue de Vergy includes 50% whole bunches this year. This cuvée lacked the precision I found in Lignier-Michelot's other wines, a bit of warmth detracting from its clarity. The palate is medium-bodied with black cherry and blueberry fruit. There's fine structure, thou...

The 2022 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru, which contains around 60% whole bunches, has a more cohesive bouquet compared to the Clos Saint-Denis: pure red berry fruit, wet limestone, sous-bois and a tangible sense of primal energy. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins. Very harmonious...

The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes includes 80% whole bunches and has more composure and complexity than the preceding Rue de Vergy, leaning more towards black fruit with light undergrowth scents. The palate is structured on the entry, those stems imparting an attractive pepperiness, becomin...

The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgey 1er Cru, containing 80% whole bunches, has a refined bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry fruit laced with clove and light tea leaf aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. It is quite strict and linear, with fine depth, perhaps requiring a...

The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Faconnières 1er Cru leans more towards earthy red fruit on the nose, touches of rose bush emanating from the 70% whole bunches, open-knit and perhaps more approachable than others from the Domaine. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly chocolatey, lactic entry dovet...
