Produced in Domaine Marc Morey, this St Aubin 1er Cru Charmois displays all the hallmarks of great white Burgundy. Third generation winemaker Sabine has aged this Chardonnay in oak for 10 months which has imbued the wine with a toasty buttery breadth. Balancing the fresh citric notes of lemon peel on the palate, there is also a delightful hint of smokiness on the finish.

The grapes are grown in the Premier Cru named vineyard of Le Charmois, of the Saint-Aubin appellation. Domaine Marc Morey’s philosophy puts great emphasis on working alongside nature, with rigorous debudding and green harvests to ensure that the vine's growth is perfectly balanced. The vineyards are farmed according to "La lutte raisonnée", using sustainable agriculture methods, reducing the use of chemicals in order to respect the land and its environment. The vines are trained according to the Guyot method and are planted in clay and limestone soils.

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.
