2021, Domaine Pierre-Morey, MEURSAULT, 'Les Tessons'

A tiny crop, the vines not having been protected. A light green edge to the colour. More phenolic on the nose, though that pleases me rather than otherwise. The wood is a bit present at the moment but does not dry the fruit. Solid and weighty, this should work out with a little more elevage. *** 88-91 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy (2022).

Pretty, cool and airy aromas include those of pear, citrus, hazelnut and a whiff of acacia blossom. There is fine volume to the intense and attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a tightly wound, sneaky long, clean, dry and balanced finale. This does though need to develop better depth and while the aging track record for this wine is indisputably excellent, at present the wine seems almost simple. We'll see in time. 88-91 Burghound (2023).
