2023 Lignier-Michelot, Morey-Saint-Denis, Vieilles Vignes

A perennial jewel in Virgile Lignier’s lineup, the Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes comes from parcels averaging 60–80 years old—deep-rooted vines that naturally limit yields and amplify site character. The 2023 shows the domaine’s signature purity: lifted red and black fruit, fine mineral detail, and a firm but elegant tannin profile that is unmistakably Morey. Lignier-Michelot continues to sit squarely among the top growers of the Côte de Nuits, and this cuvée remains one of the most reliable snapshots of the village.
