Note di degustazione
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of raspberry, black currant, smoke and tobacco, building nicely with aeration and becoming quite intense after 10–15 minutes. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins and good structure, quintessentially Morey in style, displaying ample salinity and a judicious touch of spice. This has great length plus a sense of reserve. Built for the long term. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru includes 25% whole bunch fruit. It has a tightly wound bouquet that opens in confident style to reveal red cherries, strawberry and fine mineralité . The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite airy in style, but then suddenly exerts fine grip on the persistent, chalky-textured finish. Excellent.
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes is superb, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of warm spices, raspberries, cherries, dark chocolate and candied peel. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with the most depth and dimension of Lignier's premiers crus, its deep core of fruit largely concealing the wine's fine-grained structuring tannins, concluding with a saline finish. This cuvée hails from a parcel that straddles the climats Faconnières and Chenevery that was planted in 1936, 1942 and 1943, and which the Lignier family has always vinified as a single cuvée.
