The 2011 Pierre Morey Meursault Les Terres Blanches is a well-regarded white Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune. Crafted by Pierre Morey, a noted winemaker and former cellarmaster for Domaine Leflaive, this wine reflects the characteristic elegance and depth of Meursault’s Chardonnay wines.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: A pale gold hue with hints of green, typical of youthful white Burgundy.
- Aroma: This wine opens with refined aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and stone fruits like peach. It also features subtle almond, toasted hazelnut, and a distinct minerality that’s emblematic of Meursault’s terroir.
- Palate: On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy texture. Flavors of ripe orchard fruits, citrus, and hints of white flowers unfold alongside vibrant acidity and a pronounced minerality. The 2011 vintage is notable for its balance between richness and freshness, with a smooth, lengthy finish that highlights its structured minerality and slight oak influence
Aging Potential:
This wine has aged well and is likely near or at its peak, though it could continue to develop tertiary notes with a few more years in bottle. Many 2011 white Burgundies from Meursault are recommended to be enjoyed within a decade of the vintage.
Food Pairing:
It pairs beautifully with rich dishes, such as:
- Seafood (lobster, scallops)
- Poultry with creamy sauces
- Mildly aged cheeses (like Comté or Gruyère)
