High-slope Morey from a vineyard that climbs into the hills. Virgile Lignier has fully hit his stride; Flatiron met him years ago as a thoughtful young vigneron clearly going places, and now he's arrived, farming sustainably with organic treatments with ambient-yeast ferments and judicious whole-cluster. En la Rue de Vergy is a high-slope Morey-Saint-Denis village lieu-dit, known for energy, minerality and a cooler, more structured profile than the warmer mid-slope sites. The 2013 was a classic, cooler vintage built for the cellar, and this has the age now to show its savory, mineral side. Already hard to find, with prices expected to climb.

"The 2013 Morey-Saint-Denis en la Rue de Vergy has a forward nose with red berry fruit, leather, damp undergrowth and a touch of wild mint. It coalesces nicely in the glass, though it is a bit rustic. The palate is medium-bodied with a little chewiness on the entry, good weight and gentle grip. Still, the finish is missing nuance and complexity compared to Lignier's recent vintages that occupy higher quality levels." —Neal Martin

More about Domaine Lignier-Michelot

Virgile Lignier-Michelot's eight-hectare parcel in Morey-Saint-Denis sits on some of Burgundy's most expressive terroir. Pinot Noir from premier and grand cru sites that taste like soil and time compressed into a glass. Becky Wasserman's selections bring these to America, where they're recognized as serious reds. Serious reds for serious collectors—no shortcuts, no fashion, just craft that respects the vineyard and the tradition.
