Meursault Les Tessons 2018 Pierre Morey
The Meursault Les Tessons 2018 by Pierre Morey is a wine of great elegance and complexity, produced in the renowned Burgundy region, precisely above the village of Meursault. This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, which benefit from a unique terroir characterized by a soil rich in stones and pebbles, imparting a distinctive minerality to the wine.
Pierre Morey's vines, located in the Les Tessons vineyards, enjoy a calcareous and pebbly soil that contributes to the wine's aromatic complexity and freshness. The cultivation follows organic and biodynamic methods, respecting nature and promoting biodiversity. This care and attention to detail are reflected in the distinctive character of the grapes.
The vinification process of the Meursault Les Tessons 2018 involves spontaneous fermentation in oak containers, using the indigenous yeasts present on the grapes. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in the same type of containers, which helps develop greater complexity and roundness. The wine then matures for about 20 months in oak barrels, allowing it to gain depth and structure. Subsequently, the wine is bottled without filtration to preserve all its organoleptic characteristics.
The Meursault Les Tessons 2018 presents a bright straw yellow color. On the nose, it offers a fine and complex bouquet dominated by mineral aromas that reflect the terroir, with hints of citrus, white fruit, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and balanced, with a lively and vibrant acidity that imparts freshness and longevity. The finish is long and refined, characterized by a menthol aftertaste that adds a touch of freshness and uniqueness.
Thanks to its versatility, the Meursault Les Tessons 2018 is excellent for accompanying a variety of dishes, demonstrating great gastronomic vocation. It pairs perfectly with fish and shellfish dishes and is particularly delicious with turbot. Its complexity and freshness also make it an excellent companion for white meat dishes and soft cheeses.
