Bâtard Montrachet, Domaine Marc Morey 2007

The Marc Morey 2007 Batard-Montrachet is dominated by ripe peach, musky narcissus, lily, and honey, though with chalky, zesty, and spicy inflections. Hints of apple pit and peach kernel offer further counterpoint to sheer richness of forward fruit. For all of this wine's density and creaminess, there is a sense of lift here, as there was with the Pucelles. But this doesn't quite achieve the dynamic or the complexity of that premier cru bottling. I would expect this to perform well for at least 5-7 years, although like most of the wines in its collection, it seems ideal for enjoying on the young side.
