2017 Pierre Morey Meursault #161903084
Wine Advocate
Reviews 92 points Wine Advocate "...opening in the glass with an incipiently complex bouquet of fresh pear, hazelnuts, white flowers and crushed chalk. Medium to full-bodied, tensile and incisive, it's serious and tightly wound after bottling but displays fine depth at the core and a long, energetic finish. (WK)" 89-91 points Burghound "A fresh, cool and very Meursault nose offers up notes of hazelnut, acacia blossom and a lovely mix of pear and apple scents. As well there should be, there is better volume and mid-palate density to the seductively textured but punchy medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the lingering and firm finish that is shaped by citrus-tinged acidity.

About Pierre Morey
The 10-hectare estate is located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, with vineyards in Monthelie, Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet, and, notably, Meursault. Initially acquiring vineyards through sharecropping contracts with Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Pierre later augmented the family's holdings with purchased plots, resulting in a diverse portfolio of terroirs.
A pioneer of biodynamics in Burgundy, Pierre transitioned the vineyards to organic farming in 1993, culminating in full biodynamic certification in 1997. This ethos fosters an intricate symbiosis with nature, engendering wines with a profound sense of place.
Domaine Pierre Morey's wines are acclaimed for their balance and subtlety, weaving together power, finesse, fruit, and minerality. The Chardonnays, whether the Bourgogne Blanc from deep clay-chalk soils or the Meursaults from distinctive terroirs such as Les Forges, Les Pellans, and Les Chaumes de Narvaux, demonstrate complexity and structure, offering both immediate appeal and aging potential. Among the Meursault offerings, the Perrières parcel yields a particularly astounding wine characterized by robust structure and unmatched length, promising more than 20 years of longevity.
While respecting tradition, Domaine Pierre Morey also shows an adaptive spirit, with the recent inclusion of the Meursault Le Meix Tavaux plot in their repertoire, enhancing their range of expressive, terroir-driven Burgundian wines.
Domaine Pierre Morey's wines are a testament to the Morey family's deep-rooted passion for winemaking and unwavering commitment to the health of their vineyards, making them a valuable addition to any discerning wine collection.
