Domaine Lignier-Michelot Axelle Coteaux Bourguignons 2021

"The Domaine Lignier-Michelot is located in Morey-Saint-Denis, in the Côte de Nuits, in the heart of the great terroirs of Burgundy. The village of Morey-Saint-Denis is ideally located on the Route des Grands Crus, between Chambolle-Musigny, to the south, and Gevrey-Chambertin, to the north. The appellation covers nearly 150 hectares and has 5 Grands Crus including the illustrious Clos Saint-Denis and Clos de la Roche.

The Domaine Lignier-Michelot is a family story that began 3 generations ago, in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. Led by Laure and Virgile Lignier, the vineyard covers 12 hectares fragmented into about sixty plots on some of the best climates of the Côte de Nuits, in the villages of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Fixin, Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Laure and Virgile take the greatest care in the tillage of the soil in order to respect the biodiversity and typicality of the great terroirs of Burgundy. Indeed, they are very attentive to the work done in the vineyards. Meticulous in the culture, Virgile Lignier minimizes interventions in the cellar to guarantee the purity and greed of his wines." -Winery notes
