Lignier Michelot, Morey Saint Denis Charmes Vintage:2013 There is a lovely sophistication

There is a lovely sophistication to the mouth feel of the intensely mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that also possess wonderfully silky tannins though the natural firmness of a fine Fuées makes its presence known on the gorgeously subtle and persistent finish

Lignier Michelot, Morey Saint Denis Charmes Vintage:2013 There is a lovely sophistication(from 50+ year old vines, 50% whole cluster). Here too the wood treatment is admirably subtle and it easily allows the lavender and violet scented aromas of spice, earth and red berries to shine. The round, supple and seductively textured flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel before terminating in a relatively refined and persistent finish. This lacy effort should be approachable young if desired. 91 2023+
