Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Always a stalwart, the 2022 Meursault delivers aromas of pear, sweet citrus oil, freshly baked bread and crushed mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and chalky palate with good cut and plenty of chalky structuring extract. As usual, it's a 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.
