Domaine Pierre Morey, Santenots 1er Cru Volnay 2009

Vinous Reverie Notes
Best known as the acclaimed winemaker of Domaine Leflaive, Pierre Morey now runs his own Domaine with his daughter Anne. A rich wine, velvety with finesse and elegance, this wine comes from lieu-dit Les Pétures, in the North of Meursault (even if the name is Volnay Santenots, this premier cru is completely produced in the Meursault area). Located in the middle of the slope, the parcel is very well protected from the wind. Soils are rather shallow, very red and have a very delicate structure which is easy to work and produces a delicately structured Pinot Noir that is soft in the mouth.
