2019 | Pierre Morey | Batard Montrachet

There is excellent concentration and plenty of power to the muscular big-bodied flavors that possess excellent volume yet no heaviness on the compact, firmly austere and very serious finale that is clean, dry and equally long finish where a hint of warmth slowly emerges.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From a parcel of ancient vines that Pierre-Yves Colin farms himself, the 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with notes of pears, orange oil, dried white flowers, toasted sesame, freshly baked bread and smoke. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's broad-shouldered and elegantly muscular, with a textural attack, terrific depth at the core and a long, nicely defined finish.

• Decanter: Produced from very old vines planted in the centre of the slope on the slightly south-facing Chassagne side. The fruit was harvested in perfectly healthy condition, if somewhat frighteningly high in alcohol. The result is a wine of incredible concentration, with ripe apples and butter. On the palate the texture is dense, almost oily, yet the extended ageing on the lees brings finesse and freshness. This is a big wine, but not out of keeping with the fairly rich character of Bâtard.

Producer Information

Domaine Pierre Morey is a Meursault-based wine producer making a range of wines in the wider Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy. The estate boasts around 11 hectares (27 acres) of vineyards in the villages of Monthelie, Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault itself. The eponymous founder also set up the Morey-Blanc négociant brand, making wines from fruit acquired from other growers. The Morey family has a long and extensive history in Burgundy that dates back to the 16th Century. However, Domaine Pierre Morey itself was established by Pierre Morey in 1971. His father, Auguste Morey, had been a sharecropper at Domaine des Comte Lafon from the mid-1930s, and when Pierre founded the domaine in the 1970s, Auguste gradually transferred his sharecropping rights for the families of Lafon, Poirier and Morey to his son. Through this sharecropping deal, the Morey name became as well associated with the Montrachet Grand Cru site as with its Meursault wines. Indeed, given this experience, even once the sharecropping arrangement finished in 1984, Morey was employed as general manager of Domaine Leflaive from 1988 until 2008. From 1971 to 1983, the Morey family produced its wines under both the Auguste Morey-Genelot and Domaine Pierre Morey labels. The domaine is still family-owned and run to this day and is currently co-managed by Pierre's daughter, Anne Morey. Since 1992, Domaine Pierre Morey has operated a négociant company named Morey-Blanc. Under this label it produces a range of grand cru, premier cru and village-level wines from grapes purchased from winegrowers in appellations including Corton, Saint-Aubin and Meursault.
