Michel Caillot is the nephew of Pierre Morey, former winemaker at Domaine Leflaive, and now proprietor of Domaine Pierre Morey and Maison Morey-Blanc. Michel took over from his father Roger Caillot. Unusually for modern Burgundy, he tends to wait a full 24 months before bottling, although he transfers the wine to tank after 12 months so as to preserve freshness and avoid drying out or oxidizing the wine. His two Meursaults are very different in character. The Tessons comes from what is arguably the best candidate from promotion from village to Premier Cru. It sits high on the hill on a steep slope of limestone and thin topsoil at about the same elevation as Meursault Perrieres or the upper part of Genevrières. The vineyard sees a cooler summer climate here than in the lower vineyards. This is a wine of elegance and class, with energy, minerality , and drive to accompany the nutty Meursault quality.
