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
"Notes of petrol and matchstick character are present on the ripe and appealingly fresh aromas of citrus confit and pretty white floral wisps. There is even better intensity and detail to the equally concentrated flavors that aren't necessarily finer, but they are a bit more stylish on the tightly wound, youthfully austere and balanced finale. "AM
Food Pairing
Classically recommended with grilled, robust fish (turbot, walleye), seafood, white meat or white (Bresse) poultry in rich creamy white wine sauce, grilled lobster or spiny lobster, sweetbread baked.
