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
"This is also aromatically cool, elegant and airy with its mix of green apple, just sliced pear, white flower and more discreet petrol wisps. The moderately dense middleweight flavours possess a more sophisticated, if less mineral-driven, texture, all wrapped in a superbly long, balanced and slightly drier finale. This could use more depth but the potential to develop it is clearly present. Excellent." Allen Meadows, Burghound
Food Pairing
Gratinated oysters, lobster, risotto with truffle and Bresse chicken in cream sauce with morels.
