2008 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Les Faconnieres, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, France 750ml

This is perhaps more obviously '08 in style with a hint of the herbal influence on the otherwise pure, elegant and quite classy nose of red and blue pinot fruit that merges into supple and round medium weight flavors that possess good extract that buffers the linear and lingering finish. This is a bit less austere than the Chenevery but overall, it's cut from the same cloth.
