90-92 Healthy medium red. More complex on the nose than the Blanchards, with raspberry and musky coffee aromas complemented by sexy soil tones and a floral element. Less fat and dense than the Blanchards, but its sappy raspberry fruit shows lovely mineral tension. Finishes precise, cool and long.

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

89-91 The 2016 Morey St Denis 1er Cru la Riotte was completely destemmed and matured in 25% new oak. It has a perfumed, floral bouquet with rose petal and iris infusing the red berry fruit, more blue fruit emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, quite compact and linear, conservative perhaps when compared to Lignier's other premier crus, although there is satisfying length. It just feels a little correct at the moment when you just want it to loosen its tie.

88-91 A very subtle hint of volatile acidity is present on the high-toned mix of various red berries and soft floral aromas. The supple, refined and well-detailed medium weight flavors possess reasonably good length but only average depth for a good Morey 1er. Note that this could be enjoyed young if desired.
