Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 17
(Lignier is the largest owner in this premier cru and made 15 barrels of Faconnières in 2014): Good dark red. Subdued but pure aromas of raspberry, espresso and Indian spices. Still a bit youthfully imploded but concentrated and vibrant, showing lovely definition to its berry, mineral and spice flavors. In a distinctly elegant style, with very well-judged use of stems. Finishing firm, lively and long, this wine makes the young 2015 version seem heavy by comparison.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 31 Dec 15
The 2014 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Faconnières felt much more withdrawn and timid on the nose vis-à-vis other Morey Premier Crus when I tasted it at the domaine. The palate is very supple, sweeter with 60% whole fruit completely intangible towards the rounded finish. Perhaps this will turn out to be one of Virgile Lignier's more approachable wines this vintage?

These wines feature flavours of red and black fruits, earthy spices, and floral notes, with refined tannins and excellent ageing potential. Home to five Grand Cru vineyards, including Clos de Tart and Clos Saint-Denis, top producers like Domaine Dujac, Domaine Ponsot, and Domaine des Lambrays are celebrated for their traditional winemaking and expressive wines.
