Domaine Marc Morey
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 when 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.
Description
The wine presents floral, dried herb, honey, and bread dough aromas and flavours, all brought together by vibrant acidity. Although balanced, it retains a sense of being somewhat unformed, yet finishes with a terrific toasty, spicy note. Overall, it's a complex and sublime experience.
