2023 Domaine Pierre Morey Meursault "Les Tessons", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Sourced from the highly regarded lieu-dit “Les Tessons” in Meursault, this wine represents one of the finest village-level sites in the appellation, often considered to approach Premier Cru quality. The vineyard’s limestone-rich soils and favorable exposure contribute both depth and precision, yielding a Chardonnay that balances richness with minerality.

Domaine Pierre Morey farms its vineyards biodynamically, ensuring healthy soils and optimal vine balance. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed before fermentation with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels, with a portion of new oak adding subtle spice and structure. The wine is then aged on its fine lees, enhancing texture and complexity while maintaining freshness and clarity.
