Wine Region

Côte de Beaune, France

Vineyard

10 hectares

We tasted with Anne Morey in both October and November 2023. She was rightly delighted with her 2022s, describing the vintage as “magnifique” and, my personal favourite, “a transmitter of joy”. Anne also spoke of a great homogeneity, in both red and white wines, in their ripeness levels and acidity.

Our relationship with Pierre Morey dates back to his 20-year tenure as Régisseur of Domaine Leflaive, from 1988 to 2008. The ‘Morey era’ includes some legendary Leflaive vintages. Pierre combined his position in Puligny-Montrachet with running the family estate in Meursault. It is no coincidence that certain milestones were reached concurrently at both domaines, such as turning biodynamic in 1997.

Domaine Pierre Morey’s ten hectares span the villages of Monthélie, Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, where the domaine is based. In addition, the family has access to some choice parcels which are vinified identically at the domaine and bottled under the négociant label, Maison Morey-Blanc, established in 1992. Around half of the production here is Chardonnay, the remainder being Aligoté and Pinot Noir.

2022 is our sixth Morey vintage since beginning as exclusive UK & Singapore agent. These are wonderful wines, white and red alike, which deserve a place in every Burgundy lover’s cellar.

WHITE WINES

These notes are based on tastings at the domaine in November 2023 and January 2024.

BOURGOGNE ALIGOTÉ
DOMAINE MOREY

This old vine Aligoté is from a 1.86 hectare plot of vines in Meursault, planted in 1969 and owned by the domaine. Bottled just before the 2023 harvest, at the end of August. Apple and pear skin aromas, with white peach fruit. The palate is crunchy and precise on the entry, with wet-stone minerality and ripe stone-fruit on the mid-palate. Some grippy texture on the finish. Tasted twice and by the second tasting, in January, this had put on weight and presence impressively. 13% abv.

BOURGOGNE CÔTE D’OR CHARDONNAY DOMAINE MOREY

The domaine’s Bourgogne Blanc comes from 1.76 hectares in Meursault, on deep clay and chalk soils. The majority of these vines were planted in 1984. This wine is always a favourite, far surpassing its regional status whilst offering a window into the estate’s signature style. “Really the little brother of Meursault”, as Anne put it. An attractive nose of flinty minerality, leading into a fleshy, ample palate. Nothing to dislike here! 12.5% abv.

SAINT-ROMAIN SOUS LE CHÂTEAU MOREY-BLANC

Sous le Château is of the most renowned and sizeable climats of this pretty village in the hills above Meursault. First produced in 2018, the soils here are a mixture of marl and chalk. This tends to showcase the hallmark freshness and vitality of Saint-Romain. A flinty nose of ripe stone-fruit. The palate is pure and stony, with phenomenal purity and chalky detail, then fleshy generosity on the mid-palate. 13% abv.

MEURSAULT CLOS LE MEIX TAVAUX DOMAINE MOREY

This is a 0.29 hectare parcel, planted in 1985. The domaine’s first vintage was 2019. Le Meix Tavaux is a gently sloping site in the heart of the village, with rocky, well-drained soils which dry very quickly. A refined, stony-mineral nose of pastry and cool stone-fruit, with white flower perfume. The palate is pure and mineral, acid-driven and focused. This will unwind with maturity. 12.5% abv.

MEURSAULT LES TERRES BLANCHES DOMAINE MOREY

This lieu-dit lies just below premier cru Les Gouttes d'Or and beside Domaine Jacques Prieur’s Clos de Mazeray. Its name reflects the shallowness and chalkiness of the soil. This is a 0.4 hectare plot, planted in 1989. The domaine’s first vintage was 2006. Half was replanted and will be out of production from the 2023 vintage. Fleshy peaches and yellow flower aromas, leading into an expressive, textured palate – fabulous. 13% abv.

MEURSAULT LES TESSONS <br>DOMAINE MOREY

This stony, 0.89 hectare mid-slope plot was planted in 1978. It lies above the village of Meursault and below Auxey-Duresses. Positioned at the same altitude as the premiers crus, Tessons tends to produce wines of shape and terroir. A meagre 30cm of soil, with rock beneath brings out the wines’ mineral tension and longevity. Pear skin and orchard fruit aromas, with white flower perfume. The palate is delectable and layered, refreshed by precise acidity. 12.5% abv.

MEURSAULT 1ER CRU LES PERRIÈRES DOMAINE MOREY

This stony, sunny 0.52 hectare plot, located within the lieu-dit Perrières Dessous, lies close to the village’s southern border, on the Puligny boundary. Lots of active limestone here. Half of the holding was planted in 1976. It is a small clos (walled vineyard) that benefits from reflected heat from the warm, chalky soils. Perrières is an icon of the domaine, producing concentrated wines of substance. A third was replanted in 2012. Stony, flinty-mineral aromas, leading into a palate of crisp, textured stone-fruit, with white flower perfume. 13% abv.

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1ER CRU CHAMP GAIN DOMAINE MOREY

Made since 2017, the domaine’s Champ Gain comes from just 0.17 hectares of this stony high-slope premier cru, planted with 40+ year-old vines. Taut white peach fruit, with a palate of coiled power – chalky minerality, with a sweet-fruited coating, finishing perfumed and fine. The ripeness of the season serves to round out the flavours nicely, without detracting from the impressive overall poise. 13% abv.

BÂTARD-MONTRACHET GRAND CRU DOMAINE MOREY

The domaine has a 0.49 hectare holding in Bâtard-Montrachet’s renowned Clos Poirier, adjacent to Le Montrachet. The oldest vines date from 1965, the majority having been planted in 1992. The rich, well-drained clay soils here are relatively shallow. This tends to be a complex, full-bodied wine which mirrors the richness of its terroir. The family produces this domaine bottling and, since 2011, a second Bâtard-Montrachet from the neighbouring plot, bottled under the Morey-Blanc label. Intensely mineral and with coiled tension on the attack, opening onto a rich mid-palate, which retains a core of nervy energy. 13% abv.

RED WINES

These notes are based on tastings at the domaine in November 2023 and January 2024.

MONTHÉLIE DOMAINE MOREY


This wine comes from six lieux-dits in the heart of the appellation, surrounding the village. The domaine owns 1.32 hectares of old vines here, planted on average in 1965 and certified organic. Confit raspberry and blackberry aromas, with a smoky line of reduction. The palate is ripe and fleshy, with bright wintery berry fruit, framed by supple tannins. A lively, upbeat wine. Bottled in early spring 2024. 13% abv.

ALOXE-CORTON 1ER CRU LES VERCOTS MOREY-BLANC


Les Vercots lies between the Route Nationale and the ‘vineyard road’ to Pernand-Vergelesses, south of the hill of Corton. Intense aromas of dark ripe fruit – this promises to be a big wine. The palate reins it in, with a nice poise to the attack, before finding a dense, fleshy mid-palate, with firm, fruit-coated tannins. Great ageing potential here. Ripe bitter cherry flavours linger on the finish. 14% abv.

VOLNAY 1ER CRU PITURES MOREY-BLANC


2022 is the fifth vintage of Pitures, a mid-slope vineyard which borders Pommard and Marquis d’Angerville’s Clos des Ducs. Domaine Lafarge also has a holding here. The earliest record of this lieu-dit is in the 13th  century. The name probably derived from ‘pasture’. A wine of focused red berry fruit, with an elegant tenderness on the mid-palate, which is framed by fine, chalky tannins and sustained by lively, fresh acidity. Very classical, very accomplished. 13% abv.

VOLNAY 1ER CRU SANTENOTS DOMAINE MOREY


This is from a 0.35 hectare parcel, located in the lieu-dit Les Pétures and planted in 1974. It is in that overlapping borderland where whites are Meursault and reds are Volnay. Located at mid-slope, with shallow, friable red soils. From 1999 to 2003, this was produced under the Morey-Blanc label. Acquired in 2003, it has borne the domaine’s label since 2004, the first biodynamic vintage. Bitter cherry and forest fruits on the nose. The palate is bright and quite rich, with raspberry coulis, cranberry and cocoa powder. 13.5% abv.

POMMARD 1ER CRU GRANDS ÉPENOTS DOMAINE MOREY


The most delicate and refined of Pommards, which Anne Morey describes as “a beautiful vineyard”. The domaine has 0.43 hectares, at mid-slope, planted in 1965. The limestone is close to the surface, with red topsoil. Since 2012 there has been a petition for Grands Épenots to be upgraded to grand cru (Corton is currently the only red grand cru in the Côte de Beaune). Intense aromas of bitter cherry and wild raspberry. The palate is both rich and fresh, offering strawberry and bitter chocolate flavours, framed by fine chalky tannins. 13% abv.
