Meursault Les Tessons 2019 - Domaine Pierre Morey

Meursault Les Tessons 2019 — Domaine Pierre Morey

This Meursault Les Tessons 2019 from Domaine Pierre Morey is a refined and deeply Burgundian expression of Chardonnay from one of Meursault’s most admired village lieux-dits. It combines the natural generosity of the appellation with the precision, purity and limestone tension that define the style of Pierre Morey.

The wine opens on ripe lemon, citrus zest, fresh pear, yellow apple, white peach, white flowers, almond, fine hazelnut, delicate butter, chalk, warm stone and discreet honeyed nuances. The 2019 vintage brings depth, fruit brilliance and a satiny texture, while preserving the freshness and saline persistence that give Les Tessons its noble balance.

Terroir: Les Tessons, Meursault depth and limestone finesse

Les Tessons is one of Meursault’s finest village terroirs, often regarded for its ability to produce wines with Premier Cru-like depth and presence. Its stony limestone soils favour Chardonnays that are both ample and precise, with fine mineral relief, aromatic clarity and excellent length.

In the hands of Domaine Pierre Morey, the lieu-dit expresses itself with particular purity: ripe white fruit, citrus, almond and subtle buttery notes are carried by a firm mineral line and discreet ageing. The result is a Meursault of great elegance, where richness never overwhelms balance.

Tasting notes

Appearance: pale gold with bright reflections, luminous and still very fresh, showing both the ripeness of the vintage and the wine’s slow, graceful evolution.

Nose: precise and elegant, with ripe lemon, citrus zest, fresh pear, yellow apple, white peach, white flowers, almond, hazelnut, delicate butter, chalk and warm stone. With aeration, fine honey, sweet spices, light smoke and subtle white truffle nuances may appear.

Palate: broad, satiny and balanced, with dense Chardonnay fruit supported by limestone tension. The mouthfeel is generous but never heavy, unfolding with citrus, white fruits, almond, fine butter, chalk and salinity. The finish is long, mineral, refined and persistent.

Expression of the 2019 vintage

The 2019 vintage in Burgundy produced white wines of ripe fruit, generous texture and fine balance. In Meursault, the best terroirs combine density and freshness, offering wines that are already expressive while retaining excellent ageing potential.

This Meursault Les Tessons 2019 remains youthful, but already shows impressive harmony after measured aeration. It can be enjoyed now for its brilliance and texture, or cellared to develop more complex notes of hazelnut, honey, noble butter, warm stone and white truffle.
