Description
Pierre Morey ‘Sous Le Château’ Saint Romain 2019
The Morey family’s origins can be traced back to the sixteenth century in Burgundy and since 1793 in Meursault. Each generation has worked the vineyards and made wine. In 1935 and at a very young age, Pierre Morey’s father, Auguste, became a share-cropper for Domaine des Comtes Lafon. At the time, the wine industry was struggling to regain momentum after an economic crisis and vineyard owners needed sharecroppers to survive financially. The sharecropping agreement included parcels in some of Meursault’s best premier crus: Perrières, Genevrières, and Charmes.
Nestled at the foot of cliffs, Saint Romain is a very old village where you can find an important archeological heritage. It is almost the north border of « Côte de blancs ».
Marl and chalky soils are interesting for chardonnay expression.
Wines from Saint Romain are delicacy, sappy and reveal many different aromas.
“Sous le Château” is one of the most famous climat of Saint Romain appellation, good balance between acidity and white flowers aromas, yellow fruits with minerality.
