The Story
A little more body, a little more complexity — this is the Morey wine where Chardonnay starts to show its hand. Formerly bottled as Bourgogne Blanc and now wearing the newer Bourgogne Côte d'Or appellation, it carries the telltale hint of almond that signals Chardonnay can mature into something flamboyantly decadent. Pierre Morey, who made the wines at Leflaive for 20 years and converted both estates to biodynamics, is now joined fully by his daughter Anne, and the wines just keep improving. Across the range, the cuvées differ mostly in new oak percentage — at the entry level, the oak is dialed all the way back, letting the fruit and the limestone do the work.
