Domaine Pierre Morey / Maison Morey-Blanc

A quiet master with a powerful impact: Pierre Morey has shaped the Meursault style of recent decades like few others – precise, understated, and deeply respectful of the terroir. Those who know his wines understand the taste of quiet greatness.

Pierre Morey was winemaker at Domaine Leflaive from 1988 to 2008, while simultaneously running his own estate with his daughter, Anne Morey. In 1997, he converted completely to biodynamic farming – one of the first in Meursault to do so. His wines, whether from his own estate (Domaine Pierre Morey) or as a négociant (Morey-Blanc), are characterized by transparency, cool minerality, and long aging potential.

Now, with Jean Victor, the next generation is already working in the vineyard.

The renowned British sommelier Rajat Parr praises the "inner tension" and the "grounded grandeur" of the wines. The Meursaults from Genevrières and Perrières, in particular, are considered absolute benchmarks.

Pierre Morey has never sought the limelight. But anyone who's anyone in Burgundy has his wines in their cellar.

Maison Morey-Blanc isn't a separate winery, but rather the Morey family's carefully curated négociant line – with the same uncompromising commitment to quality as Domaine Pierre Morey. Those who underestimate the name are missing out on some of the region's most authentic Burgundies.

Since 1992, Pierre Morey has been vinifying grapes purchased from Meursault, Puligny, Volnay, and Pommard under the Morey-Blanc name. All suppliers work according to his specifications – mostly organic, often biodynamic. The wines are characterized by serenity, depth, and a fine structure. The winemaking process is the same as at the Domaine: gentle, minimalist, and with extended aging.

Sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier calls Morey-Blanc a "hidden treasure of Burgundy," especially for Chardonnay lovers who appreciate authenticity.
