2017 Pierre Morey Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots #257541952
Reviews 92 points Wine Advocate "... is showing beautifully from bottle, offering up a deep bouquet of ripe berry fruit, plums and cherries mingled with soil tones and hints of blood orange. Medium to full-bodied, with fine mid-palate volume and powdery structuring tannins, this is a lively, elegant Grands Epenots that has realized the potential it showed in barrel. (WK)" 92 points Burghound "The super-fresh and somewhat unusually high-toned nose possesses a redder fruit profile that is laced with plenty of earth and spice along with a hint of wood. The middle weight flavors are not quite as concentrated or as mineral-driven but they possess a more seductive texture before culminating in a beautifully well-balanced and persistent finale. This too is really quite lovely. (AM)"

About Pierre Morey
Domaine Pierre Morey is an esteemed Burgundy wine producer with roots dating back to 1793. This familial legacy manifests in meticulously crafted wines that express the quintessential character of their Burgundy terroir. Today, Pierre Morey, a revered winemaker, and former Cellar Master at Domaine Leflaive, leads the domaine alongside his daughter Anne Morey, embodying the continuum of passion and skill.
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.
