The 2023 vintage draws on three village climats and delivers a classic expression of Pinot Noir from the heart of the Côte de Nuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cuvée 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 wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 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 does not exceed 30%, helping preserve freshness, balance and Pinot Noir aromatic expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90–92\/100 — Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted November 2024\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 place particular emphasis on freshness, purity and the expression of individual terroirs. Whole-bunch fermentation plays an important role in the domaine’s contemporary style, while restrained use of new oak helps maintain balance, finesse and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\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 100% 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 2028–2038\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SSS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67642194493742,"sku":"4506505000","price":240.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2023_Lignier_Michelot_Morey_Saint_Denis_Vieilles_Vignes.png?v=1791352187","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2023-domaine-lignier-michelot-morey-saint-denis-vieilles-vignes-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
