€129.95

Produced from Chardonnay grapes grown organically in the Premier Cru En Virondot vineyard, in Chassagne Montrachet. In the winery, the wines of the Domaine Marc Morey are vinified in the traditional way, by carrying out alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in a Burgundian piece, the wooden elevating lasts from 10 to 18 months depending on the year in which the bottling follows. Before bottling, the wines rest in steel for one to three months. There is good vivacity and balance of aromas and definitely minerality and freshness. In the mouth, the wine has a good body and ends with a well-balanced and pleasant finish.

Description

Domaine Marc Morey was founded just after the first world war by Fernand Morey. The first vineyard holdings comprised just a couple of hectares in Chassagne-Montrachet. Marc Morey took over in 1944 following his father's death and he quickly expanded the property. He started to bottle directly at the Domaine and Marc Morey et Fils rapidly became a well respected name in the village. Marc's daughter Marie-Josephine and her husband Bernard joined the family business in 1977. Today, Marc's grand-daughter, Sabine Mollard, is in charge of the estate and has been the winemaker since 2003.
