91-93 The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte 1er Cru comes from a parcel that suffers very little hydric stress, according to Laurent Lignier. Including 30% whole bunch and matured with 25% new oak, it has a harmonious bouquet of raspberry, wild strawberry and light sous-bois aromas. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Quite generous, with a lovely mineral-rich finish. Excellent.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Wine Advocate

90-92 Offering up notions of blackberries, plum preserve and spices as well as hints of woodsmoke and licorice, the 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte is medium to full-bodied, ripe and succulent, with a charming core of fruit and refined but youthfully firm tannins. At 14.5% alcohol, this is one of the headiest of Lignier's wines this year, but it's nicely integrated.

88-90 An attractively layered nose offers up notes of red cherry, black raspberry, lavender and a whiff of earth. The delicious medium weight flavors possess good mid-palate volume though the nicely intense finish is slightly spiky and warm. This has its positive attributes but the balance isn't perfect.
