Hubert Lignier, Morey Saint Denis Vv

Hubert Lignier, Morey Saint Denis Vv(a blend of two lieux dits with 50 to 100 year old vines that is two thirds Les Faconnires and the remainder from Les Chenevery). A reticent and distinctly somber nose combines hints of leather, smoke, earth, red currant and a hint of wood. There is excellent richness and intensity to the overtly powerful medium weight flavors that possess better mid palate concentration along with better finishing balance on the distinctly firm finish.
