🏰 The 2017 Lignier Michelot Morey St Denis Aux Cheseaux 1er Cru is a 【beautifully structured and quietly authoritative expression of Morey Saint Denis】, excelling in the warm and even 2017 vintage which produced wines of clarity, charm, and balance across the Côte de Nuits. Aux Cheseaux is an underappreciated Premier Cru site with deeper clay and limestone soils, imparting breadth, density, and muscle to the wines. This deep ruby wine offers expressive aromas of black cherry, dark raspberry, red plum, subtle floral notes, spice, forest floor, and earthy tones, with a more candied bouquet. The palate is fleshy and caressing, delivering dense red and dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a long, savory finish with a mineral edge. Expect classic Burgundy notes of plums, violets, and game. 🍴 This serious red Burgundy pairs beautifully with roast duck, lamb, game (such as venison or pheasant cordon bleu), and rich mushroom-based dishes. It also complements gamebird terrine and chantenay carrots with sauerkraut. 🥂 A rewarding Burgundy perfect for fine dining, special occasions, or for those who appreciate a wine with significant aging potential. It has the structure to age confidently for 15-20 years, developing truffle, leather, and earthy complexity. Enjoy between 2020 and 2030.
