Clos De La Roche Grand Cru Domaine Lignier Michelot, 2022

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru from Domaine Lignier Michelot is a serious expression of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, prized for its depth, structure, and age-worthy elegance. Coming from one of Morey-Saint-Denis’ most respected domaines, it offers the precision and intensity collectors look for in a top-tier Grand Cru.

Tasting Notes
As a young Grand Cru Burgundy, this wine is expected to show a refined, translucent ruby color with impressive concentration rather than overt weight. The nose typically leans toward dark cherry, wild strawberry, violets, forest floor, and subtle spice, with the kind of mineral complexity Clos de la Roche is known for. On the palate, it should be layered and structured, combining ripe red and dark berry fruit with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, stony finish. While approachable with patience, it is built for aging and should develop additional nuance, earthiness, and silkiness over time.

Production
Clos de la Roche is one of the most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards in Morey-Saint-Denis, where limestone-rich soils and an ideal exposition help produce wines of power, finesse, and distinct mineral character. Domaine Lignier Michelot is known for working with care in the vineyard and a restrained hand in the cellar, allowing terroir expression to remain at the forefront. The fruit is typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, followed by careful sorting and traditional vinification. Fermentation and élevage are handled with an emphasis on purity, balance, and structure, often using oak judiciously to support rather than dominate the wine.

Food & Serving
This is a wine to enjoy with refined, flavorful dishes such as roast duck, mushroom risotto, beef tenderloin, lamb rack, or game birds. It also pairs beautifully with truffle-based dishes and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended if drinking young to help the wine open up.

Producer
Domaine Lignier Michelot is a well-regarded family estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, with roots in a long Burgundian winemaking tradition. The domaine has earned strong recognition for producing expressive, terroir-driven wines from some of the Côte de Nuits’ most distinguished vineyard sites. Its reputation is built on precision, authenticity, and consistently impressive quality across both village and Grand Cru cuvées.
