Clos de la Roche AOP Grand Cru - Virgile Lignier-Michelot

The Virgile Lignier-Michelot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is a first-class red wine. In this it offers a wonderfully bright, light red color. This single-varietal French wine presents wonderfully expressive notes of plums and blackberries in the glass. This is joined by hints of blueberry and pepper.

The Virgile Lignier-Michelot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru presents itself to the wine lover pleasantly dry. This red wine never shows itself coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully dense. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Burgundy wine-growing region finally delights with exceptional length. Once again, hints of plum and blackberry show.
