Batard-MontrachetGrand cru

Domaine Pierre Morey

- Vin Blanc

Classement : Grand cru
Surface (ha) : 0.49
Année moyenne de plantation: : 1992
Cépage : Chardonnay

Cette parcelle est remarquablement située puisque uniquement dans la partie supérieure du lieu-dit, juste en dessous de son illustre voisin le Montrachet. La terre est belle, riche, peu profonde, sur un sous-sol rocheux qui draîne très bien l'humidité.

Les vins sont très contrastés, puissants, riches, gras, très longs en bouche et s'affinent très lentement au fur et à mesure du vieillissement.

“The 2022 Batard-Montrachet grand cru can be labeled either Domaine Pierre Morey or Morey-Blanc, even though it is exactly the same wine. It comes from a blend of young and older vines picked on the same date. The detailed bouquet brings crushed limestone, Golden Delicious and subtle nectarine scents. The well-balanced palate has a fine spine of acidity lending this tension from start to finish, with a dash of spice and a lovely sour lemon note lending tension and nervosité towards the finish. Excellent.”

Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson 2023-10

“Tighter top notes but broad and generous at the base – air brings a more open impression, showing some barrel in this case. Large-scale and not a bit fat – full and then really impressively finishing – what a super finish! A wine to wait for – but that’s Bâtardly obvious! More than excellent potential !”

The Wine Advocate – William Kelley 2021-01 94-96+ pts

“From a parcel in the celebrated Clos Poirier, which touches le Montrachet, Morey’s 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru mingles notes of orange oil and pear with hints of blanched almonds, dried white flowers, beeswax and struck match. Full-bodied, satiny and layered, it’s rich and concentrated, with a deep, textural core, lively acids and a bright, saline finish. As usual, readers should note that this wine is identical to the Bâtard-Montrachet released under the Morey-Blanc label.”

Burghound.com – Allen Meadows 2021 – Issue 83

93-95 – “An all but imperceptible whisper of wood is present on the ripe and exceptionally fresh aromas of pear, soft spice and plenitude of foral elements. The super-sleek and wonderfully refined middle weight plus flavors possess excellent punch and a subtle minerality on the impressively persistant and very dry if not particularly austere finale. This is superb with outstanding development potential.”

VINOUS Antonio Galloni – Neal Martin 2020-10 93-95 pts

“The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, which is labeled under Morey Blanc and domaine, has a very intense bouquet of yellow plum, honeysuckle and crushed stone. The palate is very well balanced with powerful, slightly honeyed fruit and touches of white peach and tangy tangerine. It builds convincingly in the mouth to a very persistent finish.”

Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson 2019-11

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.”

Robert Parker Wine Advocate – William Kelley 2018-10 94-96+ pts

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.

Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson 2017-10

“This starts with a vibration of sublte reduction. Grows with ripeness of fruit, honey, and subtle flowers. Beautiful texture, layered wine, honied flavour. The width is impressive and almost powerful. Very slowly fading. Super-impressive stuff.”

Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson 2016-11

“A vibrant and mineral nose. Also in the mouth this is about mineral widht and a faint cushioning of fruit. Just slow-moving waves of beautiful flavour. Again a contemplative wine – but what wine to contemplate – bravo !”

BETTANE ET DESSEAUVE Guide 2017

16.5/20 – “Cette parcelle livre en 2014 un 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

“The Moreys plantings are on the Puligny side of the Grand Cru, right next to Montrachet.
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.”

BETTANE ET DESSEAUVE Guide 2013

18/20 – “À la fois puissant et élégant, ce bâtard offre de solides arguments, avec des accents salins qui se mêlent de la plus belle des façons aux fruits jaunes.”

VINOUS – Antonio Galloni 09/2013 94 pts

“The 2011 Batard Montrachet Grand Cru blossoms int he glass with light, floral-infused honey. Chamomille, tangerine and hazelnut notes. Rich and voluptuous all the way through to the finish, yet never heavy, the 2011 is a model of finesse. This is another superb showing from Pierre Morey.”

BETTANE ET DESSEAUVE Guide 2011

18/20 – “Ampleur vibrante, avec une allonge minérale irrésistible.“

RVF n°540 – Avril 2010 – GRANDS BLANCS DE BOURGOGNE

19/20 – “Un vin au sommet de la hiérarchie bourguignonne. Retenu, serré, mais doté d’un potentiel immense, le 2007 est parfaitement géré, avec un équilibre souverain et une puissance civilisée.”

NEW YORK TIMES – Décembre 2018 – best wines of the year
by Eric ASIMOV

“It’s a privilege and necessity of my job to drink many wines over the course of a year. All have a story to tell, sometimes dull, other times fascinating. Some are simply unforgettable.The wines that stay with me are not always the best or the most profound. Sometimes the surprise of a discovery can transform the perception of a wine’s potential. More often, it’s a wine that so completely captures the spirit and emotion of a moment that it brands the memory with its scent and flavor. What follows, from young to old, are a dozen remarkable wines, with stories that endure.

9. Pierre Morey Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2001

La Paulée de Meursault is a glorious celebration of Burgundy held every November in Meursault. Based on the informal parties traditionally held after the harvest, it has evolved into a 700-person extravaganza of local Meursault producers, their families, friends and guests, and a lot of wine, often poured by the winemakers.

I was lucky enough to attend this year, for the second time, and even more luckier still to be seated near Pierre Morey and his daughter, Anne Morey. Their estate, Domaine Pierre Morey, is one of the Côte de Beaune’s most underrated producers. The wines are not flashy. They are refreshingly modest and understated, yet exquisite.

The Bâtard-Montrachet, a grand cru white poured by Mr. Morey, was both pure Bâtard and pure Morey. It did not leap out of the glass, yet rewarded close observation with its deep, stony, mineral aroma. It smelled so good that for a while I could not bring myself to drink it. When I did finally taste it, the wine was sublime.”

WINE ADVOCATE – Robert PARKER

92-93 points – “From a parcel situated not far from Montrachet, this wine offers aromas of honeysuckle, chalk dust, sea breeze, white truffle, and chicken stock…this rich, expansive wine leaves no doubt that terroir has somehow sublimated any tendency of Chardonnay to express something as prosaic as fruits or berries…intense minerals…”

BETTANE ET DESSEAUVE Guide 2007

18/20 – “Vin complet, légère réduction au nez mais extrême finesse et complexité aromatique, avec le corps et la longévité attendus.”
