1989 Domaine Pierre Morey Meursault Les Tessons

When I tasted the Morey Meursaults, I disagreed with the two other tasters in my presence. While certainly very good, with super extraction, as well as formidable power, muscle, and concentration, for me they were at the limit of being overdone and almost too ripe and fragile. There is no doubting the overwhelming amount of oak, fruit, glycerin, and alcohol present, but these wines are going to have to be monitored closely during their evolution. Although the 1989 Meursault-Les Perrieres was the best balanced of this trio, it exhibited an advanced color and frightfully low acidity, as well as too much new oak. If you like your white burgundies heavy-handed, thick, and super-rich, perhaps these wines will appeal more to you. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Raphael, CA.
