Second bottle in a row on the decline. I have really enjoyed this Bourgogne and think Morey delivered a great product for the value in the 2011. Have two more and will consume them this year no doubt.

Light yellow color. This drinks beautifully right out of the gate. Toasty oak frames the bright citrus and yellow fruits. Hints of smokiness, toffee nuances and laser-like acidity complete the package. Very well balanced, and fully woven at this point, I wish I had more. Good for another few years, but I wouldn't wait - this is delicious now with its shining crisp detail and nothing to gain.

Brilliant pale white gold robe, definite wet wool and white peaches on the nose with obvious oakiness. The flavour is quite full-bodied and rich, with lemon, ripe peaches and that great combination of fatness, precise acidity and minerality so specific to the Montrachet appellation. Sold as a basic Bourgogne Blanc, this is a fantastic value declassified Chassagne-Montrachet which performed at village level in a blind tasting. It does need another year or two to settle down, but I doubt I'll be able to resist that long. When tasted against a 2001 premier Cru C-M, the differences in intensity and age were obvious, but Thomas Morey's effort held its own.

Basic Bourgogne blanc, good for its class and well made in a style I can appreciate. Bright, focused, good detail. Minimal oak, nice varietal character in an elegant style. An antidote to more ponderous oaky chards, I'd easily rebuy this.
