Les Faconnieres sits mid-slope in Morey-Saint-Denis, and in Virgile Lignier's hands it makes a case for Morey as the most underrated village in the Cote de Nuits. This is the domaine's serious statement: dark-fruited, floral, and built on real structure, with the volume and power that separates premier cru from everything below it. Lignier farms organically and leans on ambient yeasts and older oak, so the vineyard does the talking. Give it air, at least an hour in a decanter, or better, give it years in a cellar. Prices for this domaine have been climbing fast, and it isn't hard to see why.
