The Puligny Montrachet La Truffiere (a beautiful but little known vineyard nestled high on the hill near Blagny) offers an enticing nose of earth tones and stones, followed by fat, beautifully ripe, concentrated, densely packed tropical and roasted fruit flavors. Impeccably balanced and long, this full-bodied wine should be drunk between 2000-2007.
This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.
While many producers mentioned millerandage (stunted growth of the fruit embryos) as the cause for their small yields in 1995, for Bernard Morey it was due to coulure (the dropping of flowers because of bad weather conditions). Whatever the reason for their occurrence, low yields can benefit consumers because the result is greater concentration of fruit. Morey and his two sons had bottled the whites during the end of August and the beginning of September, and were bottling the reds when I visited in January. Wines from this estate are generally full-bodied and thick, with excellent ripeness.
