Beaune Blanc, Les Grèves - 2004 - Domaine Jean-Marc Morey
Ref: A019304
It is unusual to see white Beaune on the export market. Jean-Marc produces a very small amount. This is quite a big white with toasty oak character (it is fermented in 50% new oak) and considerable structure. The white peach and apricot fruitiness combines with hazelnuts on the palate. A wine with considerable extract and some good, fresh acidity and length. Drink now to 2011.

Jean-Marc, now ably assisted by his daughter, Caroline, is really back on form. After a run of tragedies in the early 1990’s (when he lost his wife to a tragic illness and, shortly after, an old friend and employee was killed in a tractor accident) Jean-Marc has rebuilt his life and has re-emerged as one of the leading lights in the village of Chassagne.

Using only indigenous yeasts for the fermentation, maximum lees-contact prior to the first racking, 15% new oak casks and, above all, early bottling in September, this father and daughter team have managed to achieve a range of whites that exhibit a purity of rich fruit (coupled with a mouth-tingling freshness) that is rare to find.

The 2002 whites are the finest that we have tasted from the Moreys, full of their trade-mark fruity succulence, combined with an almost exotic complexity and long, lingering finish due to a fine acidity. They are also remarkably concentrated considerable weight and extremely well-integrated oak. Jean-Marc does not believe in using too much new oak and matching the style of the vintage to the quantity of new oak barrels required. We have been dealing with the Morey family for nearly twenty years when the estate was in the hands of father, Albert.
