2005 Virgile Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Faconnieres

 


Double decanted back into bottle and enjoyed with blackened catfish served over grits and smothered with shrimp étouffée. 

Modest amount of fine-grained sediment. Knock out perfume when uncorked. 

This bottle took a couple of hours to fully open up. Excellent showing for a 2005. Well rounded fruit, acidity and tannins. This could easily go another decade with cellaring and still be in its prime. 

Les Faconnières located adjunct downslope of Clos de la Roche.
