Description

Morey-Blanc was born out of a courageous and deeply Burgundian decision. When Pierre Morey lost some of the vineyards he had been tending under a sharecropping arrangement – and with them several key appellations – he chose not to dilute his identity, but instead to found his own maison in 1992 so that he could continue to interpret great terroirs under a demanding and personal brand. It was a way of remaining true to the land and to a very precise vision of wine: vineyards tended with respect, organic viticulture since 1991 and a full conversion to biodynamics in 1997. Morey-Blanc Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Les Vercots, made exclusively from Pinot Noir, reflects this blend of conviction, patience and sensitivity to its origins. It comes from Aloxe Corton, in the Côte de Beaune, an area characterised by its strong limestone terroir and semi-continental climate, where Burgundy’s Pinot Noir gains depth, vigour and a more austere, structured character than in other communes of the Côte.

Winemaking

The winemaking process for Morey-Blanc Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Les Vercots is guided by a philosophy of precision without artifice. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected before entering the winery. Fermentation takes place using indigenous yeasts, following an initial maceration that gently extracts colour, texture and complexity. During vatting, the wine is gently punched down and lightly pumped over, prioritising finesse over power. The wine is then transferred to oak barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for between 15 and 20 months, with 30 to 70 per cent new oak used depending on the vintage. Bottling is carried out by gravity, usually without fining or filtering, to preserve the wine’s vitality and its most authentic expression.

Taste

In the glass, Morey-Blanc Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Les Vercots is serious, restrained and deeply mineral. The nose offers dark, tart fruit —bitter cherry, blackberry and lingonberry—alongside a delicate floral note and an earthy, stony backdrop. On the palate, it has a tight texture, fine tannins and a firm, taut, almost crystalline structure. It does not seek to seduce with exuberant fruit, but rather with depth, grip and composure. The finish is long, understated and food-friendly, ideal with poultry, veal, game and hearty dishes.
