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
"Admirably discreet wood is present on the spicier and earthier aromas of red and dark currant along with a pretty hint of violet. Here too the medium-bodied flavors possess unusually good refinement for Morgeot while offering much better depth and persistence on the bitter cherry pit inflected finish that is markedly firmer. This is very good and worth considering plus it should repay up to a decade of cellaring." AM
