Pierre Morey is the winemaker for the celebrated Domaine Leflaive, but he also has his own domaine. Founded in 1971, he has nine hectares of vines, with plots in Meursault, Monthélie, Pommard and Puligny Montrachet, with a couple of Grand Cru holdings. Since 1991 the domaine has been organic (certified by Ecocert), and since 1997 it has been biodynamic (certified by Biodyvin). 

Pierre Morey Bourgogne Aligoté 2000
Very fresh with good acidity: a crisp, lean, mineralic style of white. What you’d expect from Aligoté. Very good+ 87/100

Pierre Morey Bourgogne Chardonnay 2000
Subtly nutty, fresh nose. The palate is fresh and fruity with good acidity. Nice crispness to this white, which is made in a lean mineralic style, and is evolving slowly. Very good+ 88/100

Pierre Morey Meursault 2000
Lovely complex nutty nose is fresh and full but with some nutty, smoky depth. Really appealing. The palate has lovely acidity and is fresh and minerally. Quite complex with some racy herby notes. Very good/excellent 91/100

Pierre Morey Monthélie 2000
This red wine has a fresh cherry fruit nose with an appealing spicy edge to the forward fruit. Vibrant, spicy high-acid palate with a nice savoury, spicy twist. Not a big wine, but very expressive. Very good/excellent 90/100

Pierre Morey Meursault Les Durots 2000
Fresh, vibrant spicy nose with cherryish fruit. The palate is lively with a herby edge to the fruit. Tasty stuff with a nice savoury character. Very good+ 89/100
