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
"A noticeably cooler nose offers up airy notes of green fruit, lemon-lime, spice and a floral top note. There is excellent richness and mid-palate density to the opulent but punchy medium-bodied flavours that also possess a marked stoniness on the moderately dry bitter lemon rind-inflected finish. En Virondot rarely drinks especially well young but the concentration in 2021 is such that it should be approachable after only 3 to 4 years of keeping." Allen Meadows, Burghound
