The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Faconnières 1er Cru, which Virgile Lignier aptly describes as a Petit Clos de la Roche, shows the same brooding intensity as the Aux Charmes, offering blackberry, wild hedgerow and crushed stone aromas and traces of moorland and heather. The slightly chalky palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, and there is fine acidity and real energy on the finish. I like the persistence and depth here. Superb.

A deft application of wood frames a pretty, pure and nicely elegant nose of plum liqueur, black cherry, spice, earth and floral wisps. The sleek, intense and beautifully well-detailed flavors flash evident minerality on the lingering, complex and balanced finale where the touch of wood telegraphed by the nose reappears. This is at once bold yet refined and sufficiently structured that it should repay extended keeping.
