2021 Domaine Marc Morey & Fils Bourgogne Blanc

Winemaker Bernard and Sabine Mollard is a specialist in making terroir-type Burgundies such as those from Saint-Aubin, Chasssagne-Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet in various gradations. Respect for the terroir is the keyword at Marc Morey. The vines are pruned for optimum yields. The soil is worked all year round. For several years now, the estate has been located in Chassagne Montrachet near Beaune in the Côte-d'Or department.

The Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc is a particularly pleasant wine, pure, fruity and mineral in the nose and mouth. The soft vanilla, butter and nut nuances of the malolactic fermentation and aging in wood are well integrated and give the wine extra complexity and balance. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control. The young wine is then transferred to 1-year-old oak barrels where it rests on its own sediment until the end of the malolactic fermentation, with regular 'bâtonnage' (stirring) of the 'groin'. This strengthens the mineral character of the wine and gives more structure and creaminess. After 10 months, the wine is drained, clarified and (depending on the vintage year) lightly filtered before bottling.

The Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc is a clean, intense nose, floral and fruity, refined and mineral, with a hint of butter, vanilla and well-integrated wood nuances. On the tongue, rather full and firm in texture, mouth-filling, juicy, well balanced, with a long and persistent mineral finish. A perfect, delicious Burgundy from Morey.
