The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Chenevery 1er Cru contains 80% whole bunches. It has a bright, open, peppermint tinged bouquet that does not quite deliver the precision and complexity of the Faconnières. The palate is very well balanced with fine mineralité and the most terroir expressive of Lignier’s cuvées. Wonderful precision on the finish. If the aromatics step up a gear this will vie with the Faconnières as Lignier’s best Premier Cru.
