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 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has a well-defined bouquet with green apples, Conference pear and a touch of pressed flower. The palate is balanced with a pleasant edginess, quite lively and poised, more energy than the Rully Village and sporting greater persistence on the finish. This will be early-drinking, but at the same time, very satisfying." Neal Martin
