2023 Lignier-Michelot, Coteaux Bourguignons

The 2023 Lignier-Michelot Coteaux Bourguignons, an esteemed regional AOC, embodies pure Pinot Noir expression from the revered Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. Under Virgile Lignier's meticulous direction, the estate employs organic treatments and minimal intervention, ensuring an authentic voice of its diverse clay-limestone terroir. Despite being one of Burgundy's warmest vintages, 2023 saw balanced rainfall and a late-season heat spike, contributing to perfectly ripe fruit yet preserving an invigorating freshness in the wine. This careful viticulture yields a harmonious and transparent wine, showcasing surprising concentration and aromatic purity. It stands as a notable representation of Lignier-Michelot's dedication to crafting balanced, expressive Burgundy.
