About this winery

The Morey family is one of the most well-known in the Côte de Beaune. The family name can be traced back for more than five generations in the villages of Chassagne and Meursault, and today great wines are produced at both Domaine Pierre Morey and Domaine Jean-Marc Morey. Since the mid-nineties Domaine Marc Morey has been an estate on the rise, under the stewardship of Marie-Jo Morey and her winemaker husband Bernard Mollard. Today, the estate is run by Marie-Jo and Bernard's daughter Sabine,...

June 2024 (Vintage 2022)

(from a .80 ha holding in Les Bondues). This is the first wine to display any significant reduction and here it’s enough to push the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast there is both good freshness and verve suffusing the caressing and seductive medium-bodied flavors that brim with sappy dry extract before culminating in a sappy bitter citrus-tinged finale. This generously proportioned effort has the legs to repay mid-term keeping up to a decade yet is sufficiently pliant to be approachable young if desired.

November 2024 (Vintage 2023)

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru has impressive purity on the nose, with very well-defined scents of lemon, orange pith and apple blossom. The palate has a powerful, weighty opening. This has a lot of concentration, with tropical notes coming through toward the finish, though the previous vintage had a little more tension. Give this a couple of years in bottle to be tamed.
