Note di degustazione
Morey-Blanc’s 2006 Meursault Genevrieres displays lime, lily, lanolin, and lemon on the nose. Citric and juicy on the palate, with underlying notes of crushed stone, toasted hazelnut, peach kernel, and citrus zest, this finishes with pungent persistence, but a bit of warmth. As with the other Meursault premier cru bottlings in this collection, I don’t envision holding this for longer than 3-5 years. Alongside his domaine, Pierre Morey (who recently retired as cellar master from Domaine Leflaive) has operated since 1992 a negociant arm. Morey-Blanc offers a considerable array of wines, given that fruit is purchased from fewer than 10 acres of vines. The original incentive for this venture was to replace the great Meursault premier crus long on the Domaine Pierre Morey roster after the expiration in 1991 of Morey’s rental contracts for property owned by the Comte Lafon.

Ripe, pure, subtle aromas of orange and hazelnut. Sweet, supple and lush; in a distinctly gentle, creamy style and fruitier than the Charmes today. The orange and spice flavors are already quite accessible. Finishes with lovely building length and sweetness.
Good pale color. Clean aromas of lime, powdered stone and subtle vineyard flowers. Suave and rich but tight and backward, with a slightly metallic quality to the lime, powdered stone and saline flavors. Finishes suave, subtle and very persistent. Like the Goutte d'Or, this is not a fat style.
