(Lignier is the largest owner in this premier cru and made 15 barrels of Faconnieres in 2014): Good dark red Subdued but pure aromas of raspberry, espresso and Indian spices Still a bit youthfully imploded but concentrated and vibrant, showing lovely definition to its berry, mineral and spice flavors In a distinctly elegant style, with very well-judged use of stems Finishing firm, lively and long, this wine makes the young 2015 version seem heavy by comparison.

The 2014 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Faconnières felt much more withdrawn and timid on the nose vis-à-vis other Morey Premier Crus when I tasted it at the domaine. The palate is very supple, sweeter with 60% whole fruit completely intangible towards the rounded finish. Perhaps this will turn out to be one of Virgile Lignier's more approachable wines this vintage?
