Singapore/Zoom
Tasted Tuesday, September 29, 2020 by Collector1855 with 257 views
A Singapore based collector, knows for his deep cellar and a particular passion Pierre Morey's wines organized this terrific tasting over Zoom with Anne Morey particpating. The Singapore distributor, Corney & Barrow contributed the 2017 vintage wines. Ann's father, Pierre Morey as well as her son, also made a brief appearance. We tasted wines from the Pierre Morey as well as the Morey Blanc portfolio. The wines showed really well, the talent of the wine maker was apparent. No surprise after Pierre Morey was the winemaker of Leflaive for 20 years, 1988-2008.
What I liked about the wines in particular was that of the 18 wines tasted there was no wine with premox. All older wines aged gracefully adding aromas of bruised red apples that added to complexity rather then dominating the mix. The village wines also punched above their weight with the Terre Blance being of particular good QPR.
Thanks again to the generous host to organize this terrific tasting.
2017 Pierre Morey Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Épenots 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
Medium-light ruby, garnet hue. More earthy and tannic/masculine than the Santenots, red fruit but also a significant earthy side. Good length with orange peel on the finish. Epenots can be at bit sturdy at time but not is this elegant 2017 vintage. Will need till 2025 at least before ready.

2017 Morey-Blanc Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Vercots 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru
Medium-light ruby, fullest color of the three. Darker nose with earthy elements, tannins a bit less polished. A bit of a whole in the mid palate. Some pine and citrus even on the finish., Aromatically quite timid still. This needs some time as well. After 2023. 89-90

First nose here that shows greatness with match stick, acacia, lemon curd. Broad shouldered acidity. Long and precise. Young but will be grand.
