Tasting notes
Offering up aromas of cassis, red berries, warm spices and loamy soil, the 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Trilogie is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a deep and youthfully tightly wound core of fruit that's framed by lively acids and powdery tannins. This is likely to emerge as Lignier's finest communal-level bottling this year, but it will also require the most patience.

From three different lieux-dits, the youngest vines planted in the Fifties, the 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis "Trilogie" has a beautifully-defined bouquet with iris flower and touches of peony infusing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. There is fine backbone here, quite serious despite its status with a granular finish. Excellent.
60% from the villages portions of Chenevery and Bas de Chenevery together with 15% Clos Solon and 25% Porroux). Pretty and ripe aromas are composed by essence of red currant, cherry, earth and a whiff of herbal tea. There is again good verve to the richer and more concentrated flavors that possess a beguiling texture while exhibiting good power on the ever-so-mildly rustic finale. This is an excellent Morey villages with the aging potential to match. (89-92)/2028+
