floral and mineral aromas and flavors backed by a vibrant structure

(from a 1 ha parcel of 50+ year old vines that see 40% new wood)

Pierre Morey, Meursault Tessons Brut Zero a tribute to his motherA more elegant and more complex nose features layered aromas of white flowers, jasmine tea, apple, poached pear and a pretty array of spice nuances. The sleek, delicious and beautifully textured medium bodied flavors display notably better depth and persistence on the balanced finale. This is an excellent Meursault villages that should age effortlessly. One to strongly consider.
