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 cool, restrained and elegant nose features notes of white flowers, pear essence, spice and a whiff of dried apricot. There is excellent volume to the succulent but intense and palate coating flavors that exude evident minerality on the beautifully long finale. Like the Morgeot, this could also use better depth, but more should develop if held for a few years first." Burghound
