    Pierre Morey Meursault "Les Tessons"

    178,00 €

    The vineyard "Les Tessons" is located in the middle of the hillside just above the village of Meursault. It is one of the best vineyards in the commune, comparable to the "premier crus", although it is not classified as such. For history buffs, the explanation is simple and is due to the fact that when the Burgundy vineyards were classified, Les Tessons, for the most part, was not planted. Today the vineyard is shared by two Meursault legends, Pierre Morey and Jean Marc Roulot. And if most books describe Meursault as wines full of volume, thickness and fatness, "Les Tessons" is a wine governed by a high degree of energy and nerve, reminiscent of the sea in winter, with delicate lines, fleshy but beautifully formed, as if it had come from the hands of a talented sculptor.

    More info

    The characteristically stony, limestone-filled soils of Les Tessons, combined with the biodynamic cultivation of Pierre Morey's privately owned vineyard, clearly illustrate the gifts of this terroir in wine. More nerve and stony minerality than fruit, in a wine that is "vertical" rather than "broad" as one would expect from a Meursault on the palate. And yet this is the terroir and Pierre and his daughter Anne Morey, as with all great Meursaults, choose to show it off without unnecessary "fudging". Nothing ostentatious about the wine, just a genuine expression of the wonderful, almost reductive, minerality of Les Tessons at the start. With time it will "open up" showing the vibrant fruit and a floral quality dimension, a benchmark of this terroir. At five years the volume and power of Les Tessons will begin to show but without the wine ever losing its mineral, lively dimension. A wine truly comparable to the top whites of Burgundy.
