Pierre Meurgey is a rising star in Burgundy, blending tradition with modern techniques to craft precise and terroir-driven wines. His focus is on showcasing the nuanced characteristics of each appellation, from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Beaune.
"Bright floral aromatics lead to a clean, crisp palate. Grapefruit and lime pith dominate, supported by mineral undertones and a long, refreshing finish. Fermented entirely in stainless steel for clarity and precision."
Our note
The 2023 vintage was particularly noteworthy, beginning with uncertainty due to a sudden heatwave in early September. Thanks to early harvesting, Pierre achieved balanced ripeness and avoided overripeness, producing wines with finesse, vibrant fruit, and excellent ageing potential. Both reds and whites are approachable young yet structured.
What the critics say:
"The 2023 Macon-Uchizy, hailing from two vineyards, is raised entirely in stainless steel. Meurgey left a little malic acid naturally rather than forcing it through 100%. I like the nose. lt's punchy and full of vitality, lime, green apple and apricot hints coming through with aeration. The palate is well balanced, fresh and tensile with a saline entry and a peppery finish. This is everything you could really want from a Macon-Uchizy. "
"Pale primrose. An attractive degree of ripeness, slightly musky, but more in fruit and flowers than excessive sunshine. A healthy crunch of white fruit at the front of the palate, sunnier and with more sucrosity behind, balanced by an additional freshness from slightly more gas than Pierre would have used in the past. Drink from 2025-2027. Tasted Oct 2024."
