2017 | Pierre Morey | Meursault Perrieres

A seductive white that draws you in with heady aromas of stone, butter, hazelnut and lemon. The intensity continues on the palate, where the mineral element and vivid acidity elevate the white peach, apple and baking spice notes. The texture borders on creamy, but maintains a mineral edge and cascades on the long aftertaste.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is strongly marked by its terroir, offering up a crisp bouquet of lemon oil, tart green apple, crushed chalk, iodine and subtle spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, taut and tensile with tangy acids and a pronouncedly chalky, mineral quality.

• Decanter: The best of Pierre-Yves Colin Morey's Meursaults comes from the lower part of Perrières, very close to the limit with Puligny-Montrachet. The humidity in the soil was a boon in 2017, helping the vineyard to produce a premier cru that's racy, refined and very pure, with laser-like focus and intensity and a kiss of oak.

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.
