Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Faconnières AC Premier Cru 0.75L

Les Façonnières lies in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis — one of the most underrated villages in the Côte de Nuits, wedged between the Grands Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. This Premier Cru shows why the village deserves its own character: more powerful than the filigree Chambolle, more elegant than the muscular Gevrey.

Virgile Lignier-Michelot cultivates his plots in Morey with the aim of letting the character of the site speak for itself. Les Façonnières is located in the upper part of the appellation on a limestone subsoil — a site that gives the Pinot Noir structure and depth without sacrificing finesse.

A deep ruby red appears in the glass. The nose opens with blackberry, cherry pit, and a hint of violet, underneath which is an earthy, slightly mushroomy note that is typical of Morey. On the palate, medium to full body, fine-grained tannins, and a lively acidity that keeps the finish long and fresh.

Best served at 16–17 °C. Pairs well with partridge with lentils, rack of lamb with a herb crust, or a ripe Époisses.
