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. From Pinot Noir grown on the estate, This is smooth and supple with berry and cherry aromas on the nose. It is soft on the palate with round tannins and lush, dark cherry and savoury flavours. It is not fined or filtered. It is aged for 15 months in 30% new French oak barrels, then placed in tank for an extended elevage. This is natural winemaking, entirely from wild yeasts.
