Reviewed January 2024This blended premier cru has always been the chouchou (special favourite) of Laurent Lignier. It is two-thirds of a hectare, blended from Faconnières and Les Cheneverey. The vines were planted beginning in 1936, the youngest—in 1962. It usually gives a wine that is a model of elegance and finesse, and 2022 is no exception, with pronounced aromas of mulberry and cassis touched with violets, liquorice, and cedar. The texture is ethereal and perfumed, yet the finish is astonishingly long. This wine should be accessible relatively early and should drink for 20 years at least.(CC)

Clear bright and lively ruby purple. Super perfume, this has an innate class over and above even the Chaffots, with a lovely tensile strength. More red fruit than black, perfectly poised, with a long stylish finish. All in finesse! Drink from 2032-2038. Tasted Nov 2023.

The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru comes 60% from Les Faconnières and the rest from Chenevery. The very complex bouquet has a mixture of red and black fruit, detailed with crushed rock and graphite. The medium-bodied palate has fine-grain tannins with that graphite element hovering in the background. It is very detailed and precise toward the finish. This is one of Lignier's finest cuvées, and the 2022 is no different. Superb.(NM)

This is a combination of Faconnières (33 ares) and Chenevery (20 ares), which sit next to one another below the Grand Crus on the northern side of Morey. It's a sophisticated wine with pure mulberries and blueberries, minutely-grained tannins and fresh acid. The finish is long and minerally yet leaves you wanting more.
