1999 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Aux Charmes 87 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
Red fruited with s touch of vanilla. Some smoke too. There's a slight tightness/tautness on the palate. Good acidity. Perfectly decent but needs some more time. ***

1999 Virgile Lignier Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Aux Charmes 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
A bit more savoury on the nose, a little more old school. I prefer this slightly more rustic style. Appealing though not overly complex. Mid ***

Slightly brighter red fruit on the nose here. Some glossy oak. Nice acidity and a bit of bite. Redder fruited and more elegant than the 09. ***1/2

2007 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Faconnières 86 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
Very glossy, smooth, oaky Jose. Sleek and expensive. Quite rounded on the palate, Rupert suggests slightly jammy buy I think it's a lack of backend rather than too much front. ***

Slightly plusher but similarly glossy nose to the 07. Very plush, almost lush on the palate. Quite dense REs fruit. Not a flashy as I was expecting. Very decent. ***

2004 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Faconnières 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
Similar nose to the 05. A little leaner with a touch of coal tar. Similar leanness on the palate. I can see the vintage character but as a counterpoint to the lusher style it's quite appealing. ***

2002 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Faconnières 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
02 cork 03 label! Very similar to the normal 02. Good red fruit and a freshness too. Almost lighter than the other bottle, must be the 02 too. ****

2000 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Gevrey-Chambertin 88 Points

Quite cool (temp). Mellow and meaty, a little less mineral and more earthy. Nicely mature. Lacks some depth and complexity but there's harmony and interest here. ***

2007 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Clos de la Roche 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
Far more density on the nose. Very polished and classy. Far more substance and line here. Flows seamlessly from attack to finish. Complete. Red fruited, a touch smokey, full and quite fresh. ****

2006 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Clos de la Roche 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
Actually a little clipped and less expressive initially. There's proper GC density though. Quite grippy still, fine, slightly grainy texture. It's a little more relaxed than the 07 which is possibly a little too 'made up' by comparison. ****

2006 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Clos St. Denis 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos St. Denis Grand Cru
Very silky and poised and polished (in a non-confected sense). Refined and classy. Fine grained, silky, dark red fruit. Long. A touch hot as it warms up but a class act. ****1/2

NV Jacques Picard Champagne Brut Sélection 87 Points
France, Champagne
Quite rich and rounded on the nose. Ripe and balanced with a sense of reasonable dosage. Similar on palate. Rounded, quite generous, no hard edges. Possibly lacks some zip. ***
