Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Faconnières 2011 - Lignier-Michelot

Located in Morey-Saint-Denis, in the heart of the great terroirs of Burgundy, on the Route des Grands Crus, the Lignier-Michelot family estate has existed for three generations and extends over 12 hectares divided into around sixty plots among the best climates of the Côte de Nuits in Morey-St-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Fixin, Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-St-Georges.

Today, Laure and Virgile run it, taking the greatest care in working the soils, in order to promote biodiversity and the typicality of the great Burgundian terroirs. Virgile intervenes minimally in the cellar in order to guarantee the purity and deliciousness of the wines.

The vines used for this vintage are the oldest on the estate, some are over 65 years old.

3500 bottles vinified each year with 80% whole harvests.

This vintage is one of the emblematic vintages of the estate, it reveals a very great terroir with a remarkable aromatic palette, and this, whatever the vintage, it is a complete and seductive wine.
