89 - 91 point, Vinous.com: "Palish bright medium red. Nose dominated by musky, rocky, smoky calcaire. A step up in silkiness, sweetness and depth from the village Morey but a bit reduced, displaying very good intensity to its flavors of redcurrant, tobacco, spices and saline minerality. Finishes with very good spine and length, with a lingering note of dried flowers. This wine comes from vines on very poor subsoil below Clos de la Roche; Stehly notes that it is "always strict when young and poor in color". 25% new oak."

Lignier ejer halvdelen af denne fine 1. Cru, der støder op til Grand Cru Clos de la Roche. Vinstokkene er 50 år gamle, og giver her en vin, der er ærketypen på en 1. Cru fra den nordlige ende af Morey Saint Denis. Farven er klar og glansfuld Bourgogne-rød. Smagen er fyldig og silkeagtig og med et væld af intense sorte bær. Eftersmagen er silkeagtig intens og lang. Klassisk og elegant Bourgogne på et højt niveau.

Om 2016-årgangen i Bourgogne...

Jancis Robinson MW: ”More good news. 2016 is a seriously delicious vintage. Bad new, Burgundy lovers. There is a serious shortage of wine.”

Financial Times: ”2016 has produced already charming but potentially long-lived reds with expressive fruits.”
