Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2020 Meursault Les Tessons has a slightly yeasty nose at the moment, showing a little reduction. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity. There is impressive weight for a Village Cru (then again, this is Les Tessons) with a lightly spiced finish. Very fine.

The 2020 Meursault Les Tessons reveals aromas of crisp orchard fruit and orange oil mingled with hints of freshly baked bread and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with tangy acids and chalky structuring extract, it's layered and seamless, standing out as the most complete of Morey's communal bottlings from Meursault.

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.
