Puligny Montrachet Les Pucelles 2015, Marc Morey

Vinmøte Are 3.5.2018

Kesner Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay 2015, Sonoma Coast 
Oljet, grønngul, fyrstekake, ananas og botrytis. Samtidig frisk, syretilsatt ? Salt, limeaktig og den prøver vel hardt å ligne en hvit burgund. Og til kr. 620,- blir dette drøyt. 88 poeng  

Puligny Montrachet Les Pucelles 2015, Domaine Marc Morey
Fet, rik, krydder fra Marrakesh. Samtidig litt undermoden og grønn. En bitter og seriøs ettersmak, bør lagres. Men ikke så typisk rik 15 årgang, jeg gjettet 2011. 91-92 poeng

Domaine Marc Morey was founded just after the first world war by Fernand Morey. The first vineyard holdings comprised just a couple of hectares in Chassagne-Montrachet. Marc Morey took over in 1944 following his father's death, when he quickly expanded the property. He started to bottle directly at the Domaine, and Marc Morey et Fils rapidly became a well respected name in the village. Marc's daughter Marie-Josephine and her husband Bernard joined the family business in 1977. Today, Marc's grand-daughter, Sabine Mollard, is in charge of the estate and has been the winemaker since 2003.

The domaine's owns 9.5 hectares of vineyards in the Côte d'Or. Most of their vineyard sites are located in Chassagne-Montrachet. One hectare is planted to Pinot Noir and a small amount of Aligoté, while the majority of their plantings are Chardonnay. Domaine Marc Morey owns over 90% of the Premier Cru, En Virondot. Morey owns 2 hectares of En Virondot will leasing 0.1 from a nieghbor so they are the only producer for this vineyard. Sabine also owns smaller plots in the Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, as well as Premier Cru vines in St. Aubin and Puligny-Montrachet. Sabine practices the principles of lutte raisonée, or sustainable viticulture in all of her vineyards and is a firm believer of the concept that the best wines must start with great grapes.

Domaine Marc Morey's cellars are located directly under the century-old family home right in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. Vinification is flexible according to the vintage, with the wines resting on their lees for on average 10 months for the whites and 15 months for the reds in a maximum of 30% new oak barrels. Sabine prefers that the wines' portrayal of terroir to be as expressive as possible

Riesling Smaragd Wachau 2004, Graben Gritsch 
Gul, gummi, riesling, fet, sulfitt, kruttlapp og uren. Moden og litt plump. Jeg gjettet Østerrike. Øistein mente dette var en vin morens hans ville likt. 89 poeng

Meursault Genevrieres 2014, Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils 
Grønn og litt anonym på nesa. Tørr stil med superb mineralitet. Stram, elegant, stringent med snev av smørkaramell. Bør lagres. Kr. 669,- (2015) 91-92 poeng

Vi hadde denne også på vinmøte Are ifjor; 

Meursault Genevrières Premier Cru 2014, D. Bouchard Père & Fils
Minty, kaffe, smør, popcorn, fat, bål og brent trevirke. Mangler endel spenst og grenser til "flabby". Men en rik, ung og balansert vin. 91 poeng
