Lignier-Michelot Morey St Denis en la rue de Vergy 2018 clare-wine-co Robert Parker’s Wine AdvocateProduced from vines planted 1990 in a small south facing amphitheatre near Malleval right not far from the famous Lys de Volan site formerly owned by Gerard Depardieu and Alain Paret (Guigal recently bought half of Lys de Volan). The soil here is granitic migmatite leococrate which imparts wonderful freshness and texture to the wine. Matured for 8 months in older barriques this wine shows the fresher and more mineral style of Condrieu (13. 5% alc).
