The Morey-Blanc 2007 Meursault Les Boucheres combines musky, narcissus-like as well as linden floral, pistachio extract, and spice notes in the nose; is rich and oily in texture, brimming with citrus oils lightly-tinged by vanilla and resin from the barrel and with liquid floral perfume; and suffused with salt that gives it a finish of lip-smacking invigoration. This is an early-ripening site that generally exhibits fairly low acidity, and in this instance, its evolution in barrel was relatively precocious, too, says Morey. Exactly as he puts it, “the sense of minerality compensates for the relatively low acidity.” This excellent exemplar of a too little-known cru should be worth following for at least 6-8 years. Pierre Morey bottled the 2007s under his negociant label Morey-Blanc in early Spring, a bit ahead of his estate wines in the expectation that the former will open-up sooner for early enjoyment. I did not taste all of Morey’s offerings under this label, and some of the less expensive bottlings that I did taste were slightly inharmonious. Importer: Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel.
