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 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru (Rouge) comes across quite reduced on the nose – I’m not sure if it has the charm of the straight Chassagne Rouge. The palate is medium-bodied with sour cherries on the entry and moderate depth, yet it attenuates quite sharply on the finish." Neal Martin
