2007 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Meursault Premier Cru, Perrieres 1x750ml

Vinous 95

The 2007 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is poured from magnum. It offers scintillating mineralité on the nose, though it bides its time opening in the glass, fleeting glimpses of praline and honeysuckle emerging with time. The palate feels rounded on the entry and exudes surprising richness for a 2007 white. Yet, there is clearly the acidity to keep everything on an even keel, whilst the finish is satisfying in length. Maybe in bottle this will be reaching its peak, though in larger format there is clearly many years ahead. Deeply impressive. Tasted at the 1243 Club in Beaune. [Neal Martin, 05/07/2019]

Robert Parker 95

Now at ten years old, Pierre Morey’s 2007 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is at full flight. You might argue that it had a tough time following a 1990 Les Perrières from Coche-Dury-and at ten times the price-but the fact is, this wine was streets ahead. Glistening in the glass, it evoked images of crushed stone, with faint hints of freshly cut pineapple and white peach. The palate is tensile-full of coiled-up energy-and expresses that stony quality that defines this great vineyard, unlike the aforementioned 1990. It comes with disarming purity and precision, then a touch of salinity on the finish. It is a regal Meursault that is going to give another decade’s worth of drinking pleasure. Tasted May 2017.
