Spicy and focused on the palate

Lignier Michelot, Morey Saint Denis Faconnieres Vintage:2021 The palate is sharp on(from 60+ year old vines). A more restrained nose of cassis, plum, violets and earth marries into seductively textured, lacy and ultra pure flavors that are wonderfully refined, indeed to the point where they possess a silky mouth feel and culminate in a superbly long and punchy finish that is the epitome of finesse. This offers excellent quality. 92 2019+
