Serious, brooding nose. Quite inky and dark but finesse is here. Tannins are tight but lovely and ripe; this’ll be fabulous in a few years. Power and intensity of the vintage present again, much darker fruit and a little more ‘Gevrey’ in feel. Bertin is 19 the day after we’re tasting this – and what a great birthday present to have.

From Les Seuvrées, Creux Brouillards and Les Murots; 100% whole cluster. This is also overtly floral with its nose of rose petal, lilac, violet and acacia blossom, poached plum and soft oak nuances. The succulent, dense and solidly powerful medium weight flavors terminate in a youthfully austere and lingering finish where a hint of rusticity slowly emerges. This too is worth considering as it's a quality Gevrey villages. Drinking range: 2030 - Rating: 89-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2024)

Domaine Lignier-Michelot
A domaine now of 13.5 hectares, some owned, some in fermage with a little bought in. An average of 290 barrels a year. 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, so it's lutte raisonnée.
The wines are made with the least intervention possible, with lots of whole bunches. little extraction (one or two pigeages but mostly he's into remontages, then aged in barrel with 15-20% new wood. They 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.
