Tasting Notes

WA93
Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru La Faconnieres from Virgile Lignier has an intense and vigorous bouquet with mulberry, blackberry and undergrowth aromas that are detailed and quite captivating. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, grippy tannin. This is a masculine Morey-Saint-Denis, bold and forthright with a spicy, structured finish, a premier cru that needs at least five years in bottle to soften, yet the potential is all here.
