About 2005 Morey, Bernard Puligny Montrachet la Truffiere Premier Cru Chardonnay
About the Winery Morey, Bernard
Bernard Morey is an intelligent and meticulous winemaker,
whose wines have been described by Robert
Parker of The Wine Advocate as "always lush, ripe,
rich, hedonistic examples of burgundy."
Albert Morey, Bernard's father, retired in 1981; he divided
his property between his two sons, Jean Marc and
Bernard, retaining only his vineyard in Bâtard-Montrachet.
The Morey wines have been estate bottled since 1950. The
average age of the vines is 30 years old, with yields averaging
45 hectoliters per hectare. The soil has a high limestone
content. Bernard is a firm believer in harvesting
as late as possible to gain the most natural alcohol and
power from the grapes.
The Pinot Noir grapes are destemmed before crushing.
Cuvaison is in cement vats for 10 days, followed by ageing
on the lees in oak, 25% of which are new each year.
The Chardonnay grapes are not destemmed before
Pressing. Élevage is in small oak barrels; 25 % of the barrels are new
each year. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wines begin
the process of ageing on
the lees right up until bottling. The extended time on the lees serves
to add
richness to the wines while ensuring their freshness.
"Morey's are some of the most complete and satisfying
wines." International Wine Cellar
"It continues to be rare to find anything less than exciting
from Bernard Morey...he has hit the bull's eye...with
immensely impressive wines."
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
