The 2018 Meursault Les Tessons reveals a lovely bouquet that mingles scents of citrus oil and green pear with hints of white flowers, blanched almonds and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, textural but racy, it's beautifully seamless and complete, structured around lively acids and chalky dry extract.
The 2019 Meursault Les Tessons is very promising, mingling notes of pear, peach and mandarin oil with hints of toasted bread and blanched almonds. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and chiseled, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a long, lively finish.
The 2020 Meursault Les Tessons reveals aromas of crisp orchard fruit and orange oil mingled with hints of freshly baked bread and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with tangy acids and chalky structuring extract, it's layered and seamless, standing out as the most complete of Morey's communal bottlings from Meursault.

Domaine Pierre Morey is one of the most esteemed wine producers in Burgundy, France, particularly renowned for both its red and white wines primarily from the Côte de Beaune region. Pierre Morey, who took over the family domaine in the 1970s, brought with him decades of experience, including his significant tenure as the winemaker at Domaine Leflaive, one of Burgundy’s most famous estates.

Located in the village of Meursault, Domaine Pierre Morey is known for its meticulous, biodynamic approach to viticulture, which Pierre Morey was an early adopter of in Burgundy. This approach emphasizes the health and vitality of the vineyard soil and the broader ecosystem, ensuring that the vines are as healthy and natural as possible.

The domaine produces a range of wines, with a particular focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Its white wines, especially those from Meursault, are highly acclaimed for their depth, richness, and complexity, often characterized by concentrated fruit flavors, nuttiness, and a profound minerality. The reds are known for their elegance and finesse, with subtle fruit and refined tannic structures.

In addition to the domaine, Pierre Morey also operates a négociant business, Morey-Blanc, which produces wines from purchased grapes under the same high standards and biodynamic principles. Pierre's daughter, Anne Morey, has been increasingly involved in the operations, continuing the family’s legacy of producing high-quality Burgundian wines with a deep respect for the land.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
