About this wine
A village-level Meursault from a distinctive lieu-dit, Pierre Morey's Les Forges offers an accessible entry point to the domaine's biodynamic philosophy. More supple and approachable than the Perrières, it still shows the hallmark purity and focus that biodynamic farming delivers.
This is a benchmark Meursault that perfectly balances richness and freshness; it is the ideal choice to understand the true elegance of Chardonnay.
