Pierre Morey – Bourgogne Monthelie – 2018

Burgundy Monthelie comes from the homonymous village located in the highest part of Cote de Beaune. Compared to the bordering villages it has remained more of a niche, less exploited also for tourism, but it is capable of giving remarkable Pinot Noirs, fresh but that can age very well. In this case the winery has 50 years old plants and produces less than 2000 bottles. The wine was spontaneously fermented in oak casks and aged in barrique for one year plus some months in steel tanks. Very delicate and silky wine but hiding a great structure and longevity.

Description

Domaine Pierre Morey has pretty ancient and charming origins. Morey family is established in the village of Meursault since 1793 and every generation has a deep connection with vine and wine. Talking about the more contemporary history after years as sharecroppers for the famous and qualitative Comte Lafon, Morey family managed to buy some vineyard plots from them, while Pierre works as a consultant for great vignerons such as Domaine Leflaive. Finally in the 70’s, after years of experience, and with very qualitative pieces of vineyard in hand, Pierre saw the birth of his own Domaine. Only 10 hectares of vineyards located in the communes of Pommard, Monthelie, Puligny Montrachet and Meursault where are produced territorial, fine and complex wines among the best premier cru. Pierre’s philosophy has always been avant-garde, in fact he was one of the first ones to focus on organic farming, and then biodynamic since 1997 just to try to eliminate new plant diseases and to preserve the famous Burgundy snail, almost completely disappeared. Traditional wines, considered a point of reference when talking about Burgundy where each terroir is clearly perceived.
