Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts

Gratinated oysters, lobster, risotto with truffle and Bresse chicken in cream sauce with morels.

The young wine is then traversed on oak barriques, of which 30% is renewed annually, for malolactic fermentation and aging in the groin. After about 10 months, the wine is bottled after any clarification and very light filtering.

The grapes are picked by hand at the end of September, with very strict selection. In the vinification cellar, after extremely careful pressing of the grapes, the juice is subjected to a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with wild (grape-specific) yeasts for three weeks under temperature control at 19°C.

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.
