The Domaine Lignier-Michelot Vertical Discovery Case (6 Bottles)
If you want to understand why Virgile Lignier is considered one of the star domaines of Burgundy, you don't just need a bottle; you need a journey. This mixed case is a masterclass in terroir, featuring a stunning vertical of his best plots across widely different vintages.
Virgile took over the family domaine in 2000 and immediately set about changing things, stopping herbicides, ploughing the soils, and moving towards organic viticulture. His style is defined by the use of whole bunches and minimal intervention, resulting in wines that combine body and richness with a lively clarity of expression.
The Grand Cru: The headline act is the 2014 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru. This is Charmes Chambertin with attitude, a terrific ball of power and energy made with 100% whole bunch fruit. It is silky, smooth, and seamless.
The Premier Crus: We have included three distinct Premier Crus to compare. The 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis 'Les Chenevery' is flowing, graceful and classy with defined red and black fruit. Then, you can compare two vintages of the Morey-Saint-Denis 'Aux Charmes': the 2016, which is sleek and sophisticated with a powerful flow, and the 2017, which has real intense power and a seductive mouthfeel.
The Village Jewels: Finally, discover the quality of his village wines (often from very old vines). The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes is taut and bright with very Chambollesque character. Rounding it off is the 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis 'Rue de Vergy', a cool, fresh wine from 50-year-old vines that finishes on a mineral note rather than just fruit.L&S
