Introduction

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.

  • 1989 Pierre Morey Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

    Tasted blind. Light gold. Thought it had a bit of cork but that blew off. This was lighter bodied than the others, I guessed 1990 vintage. The wine was in very good shape for its age, not overly oxidative for a 30 year old white. Just some lovely bruised apples, complex with quince, dried fruit, fennel. Lovely but personally l like Chard to be younger than this.

  • 1999 Pierre Morey Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

    Tasted blind. Light gold. A bit simpler, a little more oxidative than the others. Showed as old as the 1989 side by side. Lots of bruised red apples, quince and dried fruit. Chrysantenum tea. Good length but not so much my style.

  • 2004 Pierre Morey Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

    Tasted blind. Light gold, Matchstick, my style, precise, crisp, relatively light. 1er Cru intensity. Finish could be longer but I am nit picking. Fennel and asparagus. Younger, guessed 2010. Very nice showing, both 2004s were racy and fresh.

  • 2007 Morey-Blanc Montrachet 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru

    Tasted blind. Lighter color and also body with bruised apples, mineral, some match stick, dried apricot. Elegant and airy. Yellow fruit, daisy flower, red apples. Vintage 1995 was my guess, this wine and the 1999 Meursault Perrieres showed more age than the other wines vs its real age. Still very nice.

    Tasted blind. Pale lemon, greenish hue. Matchstick, great complexity, lime, very Coche in style. My style of Chard with searing acidity. Very Meursault Perrieres in style but with a bit more volume and complexity. Guess 2010. WOTN #2
