Laure and Virgile Lignier have been at the helm of the estate for 20 years, combining their efforts to harvest high-quality grapes, the primary requirement for producing great wines. This is why they have always cultivated their vines with the utmost respect for Burgundy's terroirs and biodiversity.Domaine Lignier-Michelot is located in Morey-Saint-Denis, in the Côte de Nuits, at the heart of Burgundy's great wine-growing regions. The village of Morey-Saint-Denis is ideally situated 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 boasts five Grands Crus, including the illustrious Clos Saint-Denis and Clos de la Roche. This Chardonnay-based wine is the only white wine produced by the estate; hence, we named it after our daughter. More than 2,000 bottles are produced each year under the Coteaux Bourguignons appellation. The soil is clay and well-drained. This wine is vinified with moderate use of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and aged for 12 months in 30% new oak barrels. Gentle lees stirring is carried out at the end of fermentation and during aging. Domaine Lignier-Michelot is a family story that began 3 generations ago in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. Run by Laure and Virgile Lignier , the vineyard covers 12 hectares divided into about sixty parcels in some of the best climats 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 utmost care in working the soil to respect the biodiversity and unique character of Burgundy's great terroirs. Indeed, they pay close attention to the work carried out in the vineyards. Meticulous in his cultivation, Virgile Lignier minimizes interventions in the cellar to guarantee the purity and deliciousness of his wines.
