Lignier Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Murgers 1er Cru 2013

All but invisible wood sets off a spicy, fresh and cool nose that is composed of notes of assorted red berries, dried flowers and touches of game and earth. There is fine volume to the lush, even opulent middle-weight flavours that manage to retain reasonably good detail on the mineral-inflected, intense and wonderfully long finale. This delivers excellent quality with a bit more size, weight and power than the Cuvée Jules though at the cost of some refinement.
