Note di degustazione
The Pierre Morey 2006 Meursault Les Tessons smells of honeysuckle and fresh apricot, It offers nutty depth and ripe pit fruit richness in conjunction with palpable density, and adamant, tactile crushed stone character (appropriate for a vineyard whose name means “the shards”). There seems to be more than enough stuffing and brightness here to suggest holding it for 4-5 years, but will it loosen up and become more fun to drink? Pierre Morey – who recently announced his retirement after many years as cellar master at Domaine Leflaive – continues to craft Morey actively stirs the lees until Christmas, then lets the wines tell him when and whether to continue, which for the most part he did not in 2006.

Ripe but fresh nose combines orange, peach and toasty oak, plus a whiff of pineapple. Rich and sweet but with lovely harmonious acidity and firm minerality to frame the ripe pineapple flavor. A very stylish wine with a chalky, saline, very firm finish that leaves the salivary glands vibrating. But this is not particularly strict; in fact Morey recommends drinking it before the 2005 or 2004.
Aromas of nectarine, lemon, vanilla and toast. Ripe and sweet but juicy, with a peach flavor enlivened by minerality that extends the finish and gives thrust to the wine.
