Domaine Pierre Morey Bourgogne Blanc 2018

Fifty-eight year old Pierre Morey is one of the great white wine masters of the world. His Domaine originates (1971) from that of his father in 1930, now the Domaine boasts landholdings in Burgundy’s most noble vineyards which he has farmed bio-dynamically since 1997.

The Morey Blanc business is the marketing and micro-negoce arm, so named by the surnames of Pierre Morey and his wife Christiane Blanc. The style and quality of the wines are a synthesis of the nervous complexity and funk of classic old-school white Burgundy. They are complex and taut with underlying richness which have the capacity to age very gracefully indeed.

In 1989 Pierre Morey was appointed wine maker at Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet, a position he will hold until the end of 2008.

“For those who enjoy serious, classically styled, ultra pure white Burgundy that is expressly intended to age, these are wines that deserve your attention as each wine has its original, and individual, character.” Allen Meadows, Burghound

Pierre Morey Bourgogne blanc
“A pungent and not particularly refined nose of straw, apricot and melon leads to surprisingly tight, pure and vibrant flavors that possess good detail on the lemony finish. This is quite a good example of the appellation and is worth a look as it will offer a few years of development upside. 85-87.” Burghound
