Made up from several parcels of old vines. Very immediate, very super example. Full and yet very fresh and racy, floral but 'ça Pinote' as well. Mouthwatering, want to drink this now. L&S (Jan 2013)

A radiant, silky wine, the 2011 Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes caresses the palate with sweet red berries, rose petals and a gentle hint of cinnamon. This is another expressive, generous wine that is simply singing today. Readers will find a lot to admire in this sensual, totally inviting wine. The 40% whole clusters are totally integrated.

Bright red. Slightly roasted aromas of raspberry syrup, woodsmoke and peppery herbs suggest a wide range of fruit ripeness. Fat, plump and a bit soft, with redcurrant and licorice flavors showing some underbrushy development. Finishes with substantial, slightly drying tannins.

Bright, sweet fruit. Very clean and pure and polished. Masses of fruit. Long. Pretty impressive! GV 2014-2021 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2013)
Domaine Lignier-Michelot
A domaine of 11 hectares, 25% regionals, 50% Villages, 20% Premiers crus and 5% Grands Crus. Virgile Lignier worked at the domaine with his father Maurice from 1988, beginning to bottle some of the wine from 1992 (it had previously been sold to the négoce), taking over in 2000, which was the vintage when he first bottled all the domaine's production.
In the vineyard Virgile made significant changes, stopping the use of herbicides, and beginning to plough instead. Green harvesting to limits yields followed, along with greater attention to grape selection. The domaine works organically except in extremis.
The wines have a lovely combination of enough body and richness, combined with a lively clarity of expression. The old vines village cuvées are seriously good, and great value too. Going up the scale each site seems to speak very clearly of its source and there is a brightness and energy along with full, seamless fruit.
