Domaine Albert Morot

Bargains from Burgundy

"This small estate verifies the importance of old vines and the outstanding and underrated terroir of Beaune. Morot's cellar is cold and deep producing fermentations that are slow to start and take their time to complete. This results in complex, deeply layered wines that have an uncanny ability to age while retaining their vine-ripened, vibrant, fresh fruit. If you haven't noticed some Burgundy wines are now priced in the stratosphere. Morot has continued to hold fast to one of the most sane and fair pricing strategies in Burgundy. The wines of Morot are imported by our good friend Bobby Kacher." -John Nash, The Wine Merchant, Ltd.

Robert Parker on Kacher's Burgundies
"Robert Kacher Burgundy offerings are unequaled in quality by any other importer."
-Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

2007 Morot Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes

On Sale $49.99

"A discreet hint of wood spice sets off a very ripe, indeed this is a bit like a dry porto yet there is no underlying sense of anything spirituous and in fact there is a good sense of freshness here. The rich, delicious and generous flavors are very Beaune and the natural elegance of Bressandes is present with the relative refinement of the tannins and good finishing minerality. I very much like the mouth feel as it's precise but fleshy."

2007 Morot Beaune 1er Cru Teurons


On Sale $49.99

"A more typical nose of red and blue pinot fruit laced with plenty of floral influence, particularly violets, slides gracefully into textured, vibrant and very precise medium-bodied flavors that are supported by ripe structural elements and a firmer as well as mouth coating finish. Excellent."
-Rated 90-92/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com



2007 Morot Beaune 1er Cru Marconnets


On Sale $49.99

"A very subtle hint of wood frames notably ripe plum and black cherry aromas that display underbrush and earth notes that continue onto the rich, full and serious medium-bodied flavors that are at once generous and powerful on the sappy and highly complex finish."
-Rated 90-92/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com
