Bâtard-Montrachet Blanc Grand Cru 2021 | Wine from Domaine Pierre Morey

The Domaine Pierre Morey, located in the heart of Burgundy, has upheld a family winemaking tradition since 1793. Founded in 1971, this iconic estate is managed by Pierre Morey, former manager of the prestigious Domaine Leflaive, and his daughter Anne. Spanning 11 hectares across Monthelie, Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet, and Meursault, the estate has been cultivated using biodynamic methods for many years, respecting the terroirs. Additionally, the Morey-Blanc trading activity, established in 1992, selects exceptional cuvées. The estate's white wines, at the top of the Burgundy hierarchy, are renowned for their purity, elegance, and exceptional aging potential.

The Bâtard-Montrachet Blanc Grand Cru 2021 comes from a prestigious plot located in the upper part of the Bâtard-Montrachet appellation, known for producing some of the best white wines in the world. This Chardonnay reveals a remarkable power, a creamy texture, and an exceptional length on the palate. Vinified with care and precision, it expresses the essence of the terroir through biodynamic practices and unique expertise.

This Grand Cru offers a brilliant golden color announcing a great aromatic richness. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of ripe yellow fruits, such as peach and apricot, mixed with subtle floral notes and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the attack is ample and generous, with a rich and creamy texture. A refined minerality perfectly balances this richness, while the finish is remarkably long, leaving lingering impressions of sweet spices and dried fruits.

The Bâtard-Montrachet Blanc Grand Cru 2021 is a gastronomic wine, ideal for pairing with refined dishes. Enhance it with sole fillets à la normande, lobster à l'armoricaine, or Bresse chicken with morels. This wine can also be enjoyed with cooked cheese such as comté, for an unforgettable culinary experience.

This Grand Cru is ready to be enjoyed now to appreciate its freshness and aromatic complexity. However, it can be cellared for 10 to 15 years, where it will develop even more complex aromas. Serve it at an ideal temperature of 13°C to reveal all its nuances.
