90% Whole Bunch. More brawn here than the Rue de Vergy. There is great intensity. More definition and more energy too. This has lovely exuberance to it. More power and push. More black fruited with juicy ripe dark plum. Really polished effort. Delicious. Drinking range: 2019 - 2025 L&S (Nov 2018)

(80% whole cluster). Pronounced floral-suffused aromas possess notes of plum, violet, dark cherry and freshly turned earth. The caressing and utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors possess very good mid-palate volume before concluding in a firm, youthfully austere and mildly rustic finish. The mid-palate texture is pliant and round which contrasts somewhat with the finish that is quite serious and structured. Drinking range: 2024 - Rating: 88-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2019)
Matured with 80% whole bunches, the 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes has potent marine/oyster shell scents on a nose that is very focused and poised. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, superb mineralité and a supremely well-proportioned finish. Recommended. Drinking range: 2021 - 2030 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2019)
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.
