Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2019 Meursault Les Tessons has a knockout bouquet of vibrant honeysuckle and lemon thyme aromas flanked by hazelnut. The palate is well balanced with a lovely bitter note that gets the taste buds buzzing. Plenty of energy here, and very harmonious. This is a superb Les Tessons from Anne Morey.

The 2019 Meursault Les Tessons is very promising, mingling notes of pear, peach and mandarin oil with hints of toasted bread and blanched almonds. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and chiseled, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a long, lively finish.

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.
