Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
A blend of three parcels, the 2020 Meursault Village was actually difficult to assess on the nose - too reduced at the moment. The palate is fresh and shows good weight, but I will reassess this once in bottle.
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2020 Meursault is excellent, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, hazelnuts, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and lively, with fine depth at the core, bright acids and a chalky finish, it's the usual blend of lieux-dits Les Forges, Les Pellans and Les Chaumes de Narvaux.
About the Producer
Château Pierre-Mauret is a Meursault-based wine producer producing a range of wines in the wider Côte de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy. The estate has some 11 hectares (27 acres) of vineyards in the villages of Monthelie, Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. The eponymous founders also established the Morey-Blanc négociant label, making wines from fruit obtained from other growers. The only Grand Cru at Château Pierre-Mauret comes from 0.5 hectares (1.2 acres) of Chardonnay vines in the Bata Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard. The winery also has holdings in various Grand Cru vineyards, including Meursault Perrier (Chardonnay), Pommard Les Grands Epenots (Pinot Noir) and Volnay Santenots. All the grapes are hand-picked and fermented with natural yeasts. The estate's white wines ripen from 12 to 20 months and the reds from around 15 to 20 months. Since 1992, Château Pierre Moray has been operating a distributor company called Moray Brown. Under this label, it produces a range of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Cru Bourgeois wines, which are purchased from winegrowers in the Corton, Saint-Aubin and Meursault appellations.
