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 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets 2022 is a benchmark example of this prestigious vineyard: poised, precise, and deeply mineral. The bouquet offers aromas of white blossoms, citrus peel, green apple, and a touch of toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is vibrant and linear, showing a core of orchard fruit, chalky minerality, and subtle oak spice. The finish is long and saline, with great energy and finesse.
Food Pairing
A natural partner to fine cuisine: ideal with poached lobster, sole meunière, roasted chicken with morels, creamy risottos, and aged cheeses such as Beaufort or Comté. Its minerality also complements dishes with truffle or delicate herbs.
