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.

Domaine Pierre Morey is a benchmark estate in Burgundy, led by Pierre Morey, a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture and former régisseur of Domaine Leflaive. Based in Meursault, the domaine is known for producing wines that emphasize precision, balance, and a deep expression of terroir.
