The 2022 cuvée is sourced from three village lieux-dits and shows the domaine’s characteristic emphasis on terroir, balance and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is assembled from three climats covering approximately 1.2 hectares: Chenevery, Cognées and Très Girard. The vines are between 60 and 70 years old. Significant millerandage in these parcels produces small, concentrated berries, contributing depth, complexity and length to the finished wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes was vinified with approximately 80% whole bunches. Domaine Lignier-Michelot generally matures its wines for 10 to 13 months in barrel before blending and resting them for a further four months in stainless steel. New oak is kept below 30%, preserving freshness and the aromatic character of Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90–91\/100 — Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted November 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine Lignier-Michelot is based in Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. The Lignier family has cultivated vines in the village since the early 20th century, with estate bottling beginning in 1992. Today the domaine farms a little over eight hectares across Morey-Saint-Denis and neighbouring Côte de Nuits appellations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLaure and Virgile Lignier focus on freshness, purity and faithful expression of Burgundy’s individual terroirs. Whole-bunch fermentation plays an important role across the range, while restrained new oak and extended élevage are used to preserve balance, finesse and Pinot Noir aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine Lignier-Michelot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey-Saint-Denis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morey-Saint-Denis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chenevery, Cognées and Très Girard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Area:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1.2 hectares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60–70 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6,000 bottles per vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole Bunch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 80%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–13 months in barrel, followed by approximately 4 months in stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Oak:\u003c\/strong\u003e No more than 30%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Still Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025–2030\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SSS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67642119160110,"sku":"3864413783","price":229.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2022_Lignier_Michelot_Morey_Saint_Denis_Vieilles_Vignes.png?v=1791351906","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2022-domaine-lignier-michelot-morey-saint-denis-vieilles-vignes-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
