White wines : We pressed the whites for quite some time to extract a juice that was difficult to extract, in some cases by crushing the grapes, in other cases by leaving the bunches whole. The alcoholic fermentations started spontaneously 4 or 5 days later, the juice being racked into barrel the following day.
On 30th November, many vats were approaching the end of their sugar-to-alcohol fermentation. The wines seemed to be fermenting easily ...

The Story

The vines were planted in two stages by Auguste and Pierre Morey. They are old, weak vines producing little (between 20 and 35 hl/ha). Badly affected by fan-leaf degeneration, they have improved considerably since the application of biodynamic preparations. The parcel is situated at the far south of Montrachet also facing south. The soil is fairly dark, quite deep and stony. It consistently produces wines rich in alcohol, balanced out by their...

Vintage 2005

2005 VINTAGE in Burgundy / Hopes made way for certainty.

Written Notes

This was the wine Dominique teased me I might not have time for in view of the train I had to catch after tasting here. Most amusing. I’m so glad I managed to taste it. Broad and yet very very exciting and nervy – just bursting with wild flowers and life. A great bouquet already plus crystalline precision in terms of structure. So full of life it seems to be running rings round the taster. Truly magnificent, and very long.

Straw yellow. Starting out with honey, nuts and butter, with more air all kinds of citrus and some orange flowers as well, superb minerality, detailed. Fresh acidity, creamy texture, bit rich and nutty, intense, layered, slight caramelized apples note, some bitter notes, orange peel, smoky minerals, ever so slightly rough in the incredibly long finish, minutes. 97
