Montrachet 2007 Morey Blanc

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (94)

Following the loss – to Remoissenet – of the Montrachet fruit he had accessed through 2004, Morey was able this year to purchase and raise a single barrel of 2007 Montrachet. This is unusually bright and firm for its appellation, and boasts a tactile sense of strong extract, deep toasted hazelnut and pistachio richness. An intriguing and seductive aura of iris and narcissus perfume, musk, and white truffle wafts from nose to tail, speaking of which the finish is absolutely gripping yet also far more refreshing than I would anticipate from a Montrachet. Yes, it is rich and voluminous, but so full of energy and so clean and firm in its underlying suggestion of wet stone, as well as so alluring in its floral, animal, and fungal dimensions, that any thought or feel of heaviness is banished. This should be wonderful to follow for 10-12 years for the few lucky and wealthy enough to access it.
