Jasper Morris: 90-92 Points
70% whole bunch gently extracted with only one punch down at the very end. Mid purple. Not much nose. Rich deep fruit on the palate medium bodied with raspberries easily accessible then balanced by an attractive touch of acidity. Little pinpricks of fresh raspberry to finish.
Vinous: 89-91 Points
The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes had no punch-downs during the fermentation and includes 80% whole bunches. It has a forward nose of blackberry hints of cassis and violet petals. The medium-bodied palate offers sapid black and red fruit a touch of cracked black pepper and quite a structured Morey-like finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. Fine purity of fruit here. (Drink between 2026-2038)
Wine Advocate: 89-91 Points
From half a hectare of Drazey (below Sentiers) and a hectare of Gamaires (that's lower down the slope) Lignier's 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes offers up aromas of dark berries orange zest and warm spices. Medium-bodied lively and concentrated it's bright and pure with a seamless profile. Amounting to some 35 barrels this is one of the domaine's flagship bottlings. This was my first visit to this 12-hectare domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis where the estate's holdings are complemented by some carefully chosen négociant exchanges and acquisitions. Virgile Lignier is an adept of whole bunches and looks for gentle extraction during vinification followed by maturation in increasingly discreet cooperage. I left impressed by a winery that's clearly made appreciable progress over the last few years delivering a range of sauve fleshy 2022s with good depth and balance. Published: Jan 18 2024
