2022, Domaine Lignier-Michelot, MOREY-SAINT-DENIS, 'En la Rue de Vergy'The 2022 Morey Saint Denis En la Rue de Vergy includes 50% whole bunches this year. This cuve lacked the precision I found in Lignier Michelot's other wines, a bit of warmth detracting from its clarity. The palate is medium bodied with black cherry and blueberry fruit. There's fine structure, though I seek a little more roundness and fluidity on the finish. It's just a tad abrupt. 88 90 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023). From vines planted in the 1970s at
