Pierre Morey Burgundies

At a major Burgundy tasting i attended in NYC this past fall, standing in between the blue chip producers Mugneret-Gibourg, Christophe Roumier, and Dominque Roulot, stood Anne Morey, humbly pouring her family's wines.The buzz around the room for her Monthelie 1er Cru was loud, being proclaimed as one of the "do not miss" wines to taste.

 I did not miss it, and never planned to, I have loved this wine since first tasting the 2017 vintage, and we have worked with their wines over multiple vintages since.  It is my "sleeper" pick, with the Monthelie coming in well undervalued when compared to much more expensive, less delicious, not as exciting wines.

Today, we offer two of their "room buzzing" Monthelie rouge I tasted in the fall, along with their full liineup-- from their small Bourgogne rouge and blanc, to the sought after 1er Crus and Grand Cru Batard Montrachet!

Domaine Pierre Morey is one of Meursault’s quiet benchmarks, a family estate whose influence on Burgundy far exceeds its minuscule size. Pierre Morey spent decades as the manager of the iconic Domaine Leflaive, helping to define the standard for biodynamic viticulture there and in the Côte de Beaune.  Years later, he brought that same exact philosophy to his own vines beginning in the 1970s. Today the domaine, run with his daughter Anne, farms its holdings biodynamically, producing wines that marry Meursault’s natural breadth with remarkable tension, cut, and mineral precision. Whether from village parcels or premier crus like Perrières and Charmes, the style is unmistakable: transparent to site, textural yet electric, and built to age with grace.

While Pierre & Anne are best known for their profound Meursaults, it is their red wines—centered in Monthélie, Pommard, and Volnay—that are among the Côte de Beaune’s most compelling and under-the-radar expressions of Pinot Noir. Their Monthélie are some of the most geologically articulate in the Côte de Beaune, coming from a section of vines where altitude, exposition, and a very high proportion of active limestone naturally favor tension over volume. The domaine’s tiny parcels sit on thin, well-drained brown limestone soils with a large percentage of fractured calcaire and very little clay, particularly in the premier cru sites, which limits vigor and produces small berries with a high skin-to-juice ratio. The result is Pinot Noir built on phenolic structure and mineral line rather than flesh. Pierre began acquiring and farming these parcels in the 1970s, and under his stewardship they yield wines that channel the cooler, limestone-driven personality of Monthélie with striking purity. The village Monthélie comes from a tiny 1.3 hectare parcel of 60 year old vines is lifted and finely structured, offering bright red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and a distinctly stony, almost saline finish that reflects the high proportion of limestone in the soils. The Monthélie 1er Cru bottlings go deeper; from an even smaller, .14 hectare parcel of 60 year old vines, it is more vertical and mineral than opulent, with darker berry fruit, subtle spice, and a firm, almost iron mineral driven backbone that gives them superb aging capability.

While the focus of this offer is on their Monthelie wines, we have the full collection of 2023s available, from their Bourgognes up to their Batard Montrachet Grand Cru!
