Lignier-Michelot Morey-Saint-Denis Les Faconnières 1er Cru 2017

A deft application of wood frames a pretty, pure and nicely elegant nose of plum liqueur, black cherry, spice, earth and floral wisps. The sleek, intense and beautifully well-detailed flavours flash evident minerality on the lingering, complex and balanced finale where the touch of wood telegraphed by the nose reappears. This is at once bold yet refined and sufficiently structured that it should repay extended keeping.
