Notes de dégustation
A little tighter nose here but of obvious depth. Like the Puligny actually, but wrapped in more ample texture – slowly relaxing over the palate, delivering flavour in successive waves. Clearly a grander wine and a delicious one too – very Puligny and a little extra floral impression in the finish.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate – William Kelley 2019-11 94-96 pts
Aromas of green pear, almond paste, mandarin oil, honeyed yellow orchard fruit and pastry cream introduce the 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, a full-bodied, deep and muscular wine that’s layered and concentrated, with lovely mid-palate amplitude and serious chalky structuring extract. This is a long and powerful Bâtard that will require bottle age to fulfill all its potential.
Readers should note that this wine is identical with the Bâtard-Montrachet released under the (Pierre Morey) and Morey-Blanc label.
Decanter – Tim Atkin 2019-10 95 pts
« The Morey’s farm this exceptional 0.5 ha parcel under a metayage (rental and part payment in wine) agreement, so it’s bottled under the domaine’s label (PS from Morey, and also Morey-Blanc label becasue we purchase the owner part). This comes from the higher part of the grand cru, close to Montrachet, and it’s a comparatively racy, focused, aromatic expression of the terroir with lime and tangerine flavours, wonderful texture and a dusting of ktichen spices. »
The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is extremely promising, unfurling in the glass with notes of Meyer lemon, confit citrus, pastry cream, blanched almonds, fresh mint and green apple. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, deep and broad, with lovely amplitude and dimension at the core, considerable concentration and a long, intense finish. As followers of this domaine will know, Morey produces this wine from a parcel that touches Montrachet, toward the southern limit of the commune of Puligny.
16.5/20 – « Vin à la matière dense, étoffée, dont la volupté chaleureuse est infusée de notes lactées, de mirabelles croquantes acidulées, qui se prolongent dans une fin de bouche persistante, aux beaux amers salivants. »
BURGUNDY REPORT – Bill Nanson 01/2016
« Deep, with a textured weight of aroma. Growing from the core is almoste a spire/peak of fresher cirtus. Round, a leading edge with a hint of salinity, contemplative but without a lack of freshness or balance. Here is exactly the charm of 2014… »
BURGUNDY REPORT – Tim Atkin 2016 – 95
« This is a very focused wine with remarkable tension, lemon juice acidity, smoky oak and
chiselled precision. Restrained yet beautifully balanced it needs time to put on weight. »
