2023 Pierre Morey, Bourgogne Aligote

Pierre Morey, a foundational figure in Burgundy's organic and biodynamic movement since the early 1990s, meticulously stewards old-vine Aligoté from two parcels in Meursault: Les Vazelles and Les Chanterelles. These vines, rooted in relatively deep clay-limestone soils, yield grapes hand-harvested and fermented spontaneously, with élevage occurring predominantly in concrete tanks and a minor portion in oak to prioritize freshness and terroir expression. The 2023 vintage, marked by a growing season that allowed for full physiological ripeness, successfully preserved the inherent vivacity and structural integrity of the Aligoté grape. This results in a wine exhibiting notable mid-palate density, balanced by a vibrant acidity that maintains tension and underscores its pure, mineral character through the finish.
