2015 Morey-St Denis, Les Faconnières, 1er Cru, Lignier-Michelot, Burgundy

Vibrant purple, there’s lots of joy here, with good density to this wine evident even on the nose, though without much detail yet. There is rich, dark fruit on the palate, with some black fruit notes here, but enough acidity behind. Aux Faconnières is one of the first to be picked so as to avoid too much richness. Drink 2022-2030.

Virgile Lignier began picking on 9th September, bringing in normal yields if a bit below 2014. Virgile reports small berries, an entirely healthy crop, potentially as good as 2005 but with a better quality of tannins. He worked on very careful extraction to manage them, using a bit more whole-cluster (especially with old vines on clay rich soil), longer cuvaison, but no punching down except at the very end of fermentation. He uses 30 percent new wood throughout the cellar.
