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 an absolute masterpiece of precision. You must experience the tension and depth that only Pierre Morey can extract from the Meursault terroir; it is non-negotiable for any serious collector.

Terroir & Winemaking
Grapes are hand-harvested and pressed gently. Fermentation occurs in oak barrels (with a controlled percentage of new oak) using indigenous yeasts. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged on fine lees for approximately 15-18 months before bottling without fining or filtration.
