A different face of Morey Premier Cru, from the warmer mid-slope. Virgile Lignier has fully hit his stride, using sustainable farming with organic treatments, ambient-yeast ferments and whole-cluster where it helps with his family's traditional approach; Flatiron pegged him early as a vigneron going places. Aux Charmes is a Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru lower on the slope than Rue de Vergy, giving a rounder, more openly fruited and generous style. The 2015 was a rich, ripe vintage that suits this cru's plush character, and it's drinking beautifully now with room to age. Already hard to find, with prices expected to climb.

Antonio Galloni

"Palish red. Musky, soil-driven aromas of sun-dried raspberry and rose petal; redder in its fruit character and more floral than the Rue de Vergy. Juicy, fine-grained and youthfully reticent, with its red fruit and spice flavors complemented by mocha and soil notes. Tactile, subtle and bone-dry, finishing with firm, dusty, slowly building tannins and lovely spicy length. A step up in vivacity from the Rue de Vergy and likely to evolve more slowly." —Stephen Tanzer

"The 2015 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Aux Charmes, the last vineyard before you cross the border into Mazoyères-Chambertin, includes around 40% whole bunch fruit this year. It has a pastille-like purity on the nose: outgoing scents of crushed strawberry and raspberry preserve, clementine and a touch of iris. There is lovely definition and purity in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, crisp red cherry and black pepper notes on the tip of the tongue, plenty of energy, although it just tapers in towards the finish, perhaps saving something for later. One of Virgile Lignier's more elegant contributions to the vintage." —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.

Perfect Pairings

Duck, roast pork, coq au vin, or aged cow's-milk cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied, round and generous with ripe red fruit and supple tannins. Plusher and more open than the high-slope crus.
