Morey describes the 2004s as slightly riper than the 2001s, but less ripe than 2000. Yields were high. The malolactic fermentations had finished shortly before my visit, and the wines had not yet been sulfited. They were a bit tricky to judge, as high levels of carbon dioxide were giving them a hardness, and a few were also quite reduced. Morey noted that his Batard-Montrachet vines are 40 years old and are planted on SO4 rootstock. The vines, he says, are aging badly. And yet even here he made the maximum in 2004. I have provided tasting notes on the Morey Blanc wines under "Other Recommended White Burgundies."
