Domaine Gilles Morat

Gilles Morat began running the family domaine in 1997. Based in Vergisson, he and his wife, Joëlle, craft some lovely Pouilly Fuissés and a delicious Saint-Véran. They mix up oak and stainless steel for their élevage depending on the cuvée, but even for the top wines, new oak is kept to a minimum. They want to capitalise on their extensive work in the vineyards by allowing the minerality and energy to shine through. These are incredibly consistent wines of real quality and purity that exemplify the dramatic evolution of this part of Burgundy over the past decade or so.
