93-95 The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes is deep and concentrated, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis and wild berries mingled with warm spices, orange rind, burning embers and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s rich and concentrated, with lively acids and powdery tannins. Built to age, it will reward patience.

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.

93-95 The 2020 Morey Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru comprises of 75% Les Faconnières and 25% from Les Chenevery planted by Laurent Lignier's grandfather between 1936 and 1952. This has a very elegant bouquet, beautifully defined with shimmering red fruit laced with minerals. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, a little earthy with a finish that is surfeit with tension. Often one of my favourite cuvées from the domaine, this will age with style.

92-94 Moderate reduction is enough to push what appears to be ripe fruit to the background. More interesting are the dense, powerful and imposing big-bodied flavors that brim with both muscle and dry extract that serves to buffer the extremely firm but not hard tannic spine supporting the equally serious, lengthy and impeccably well-balanced finish. Like the Chaffots, this always ages well and in 2020, it will need it.

Decanter

From the oldest parcel of the domaine, planted with selection massale in 1936. It starts in Faconnières and continues into the contiguous lieu-dit of Les Chenevery. These old vines deliver a lovely, super-ripe dark plum, prune and fig fruit, with notes of earth and tar. The texture is dense and muscular but not heavy. An impressive wine, if less well-known than the premier crus of Gevrey and Chambolle.
