2023 Pierre Morey - Meursault - 2 Bottles (0.75L)

A Meursault of character, signed Pierre Morey
This Meursault Village 2023 comes from Domaine Pierre Morey, a reference in Meursault in the Côte de Beaune. The estate works with precision across three complementary lieux-dits — Les Forges (towards Monthelie), Les Pellans (near Les Charmes and Puligny-Montrachet) and Les Chaumes (at the top of the hillside) — to assemble a balanced wine, typical of the appellation and faithful to the house style: both dry and supple, full-bodied, structured and fruity.

Terroir and grape: the expression of Burgundian Chardonnay
Produced 100% from Chardonnay, this white wine benefits from stony, gravely and limestone soils, which confer crystalline minerality and great tension. The vines, planted on average in the 1980s, enjoy a southeast-facing exposure and a temperate climate, promoting slow and steady ripening of the grapes.

Wine style: balance, freshness and length on the palate
Pierre Morey’s Meursault 2023 is distinguished by a creamy texture, bright acidity and a mineral depth that extends the wine on the palate. On the nose, it reveals aromas of white fruits (apple, pear), citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and light buttery and roasted notes linked to aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is dense, elegant and energetic, with a long, saline finish.

Food pairing: elevate your dishes
This Meursault harmonizes beautifully with fatty fish (salmon, sea bass, gilthead sea bream), shellfish (lobster, langoustines, scallops), roasted poultry or pressed cheeses (Comté, Beaufort). It can also accompany dishes in sauce or mushroom risottos, thanks to its fine structure and freshness.

Cellaring potential and serving
This wine can be enjoyed in its youth to appreciate its fruity freshness, but it reveals its full complexity after 2 to 3 years of aging. Its aging potential is estimated at 5 to 8 years, or even longer for exceptional vintages. Serve at 10–12 °C, decant if necessary to aerate the wine.
