2023 Domaine Pierre Morey Meursault 1er Cru "Perrières", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Sourced from the iconic Meursault Premier Cru Perrières vineyard—widely considered one of the finest sites in Meursault—this wine reflects the appellation’s most mineral and structured expression of Chardonnay. The shallow, stony limestone soils of Perrières impart tension, precision, and a distinctive flinty character, setting it apart from the richer, broader style often associated with Meursault.

Farmed biodynamically, the vines are carefully managed to ensure balanced yields and optimal ripeness. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed before fermentation with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new. The wine is then aged on its fine lees, enhancing texture and complexity while preserving its linear, terroir-driven profile.
