2023 Lignier-Michelot Coteaux Bourguignons Cuvee 823

86-87 100% pinot. 30% whole bunch vinification for the first time. Rich deep purple, a slightly gamey bouquet, with significant fruit intensity behind, and nothing suspicious to finish. There is adequate acidity to hold things together. A 1990s planting which is starting to reach a good level of maturity. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted Nov 2024. - Jasper Morris
