2023 Domaine Pierre Morey Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Sourced from the legendary Bâtard-Montrachet vineyard in the Côte de Beaune, this wine represents one of the most powerful and age-worthy expressions of Chardonnay in the world. The site’s limestone and clay soils, combined with optimal sun exposure, produce wines of remarkable concentration, depth, and structure.

Domaine Pierre Morey farms its vineyards biodynamically, ensuring a natural balance in the vines and a true expression of terroir. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, followed by extended aging on the lees. This élevage builds complexity and texture while integrating the oak seamlessly into the wine.
