Morey-Saint-Denis, “Trilogie”

Lignier’s “Trilogie” is produced from small holdings of very old plantings in three different Morey-Saint-Denis lieux-dits: Chenevery, Clos Solon, and Porroux, with vines planted between 1936 and 1972. There is good intensity of structure to this wine, with a deep mineral thrust and a wild spice element, yet it preserves a sense of lift and drive. Laurent employs just 20% new oak during the wine’s 18-month élevage.
