Laurent Lignier combines fruit from two Premiers Crus – mostly Les Faconnières with 25% from Les Chenevery – to produce what he calls ‘our emblematic cuvée’. It’s a beautifully judged marriage of terroirs, with rose petal and lily aromas, considerable concentration and minerality, fine-boned tannins and a poised, balletic finish.

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

Unwinding in the glass with a deep, youthfully reserved bouquet of cassis, plums, rich soil tones, dark chocolate and warm spices, Lignier's 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a deep and textural core, lively acids and a long, mineral finish. Serious and elegantly muscular, this is a long-haul proposition, and I will be adding some to my own cellar.

Vinous Media

The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru has initially a rather simple nose, opening up with dark cherries, undergrowth, almost peat-like aromas. Fine delineation. The palate is well-balanced with sappy black fruit framed by finely chiselled tannins. Stocky yet fresh, fine structure, this is a little "aloof" at the moment, but it should blossom with 3-4 years in bottle. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

90-93 There is enough reduction to blur the fruit though the notably denser medium-bodied flavors that display focused power and muscle on the succulent but serious finish. This slightly rustic effort is almost always one of Lignier's best and it is again in 2018.
