2022 Domaine Sylvain Morey Bourgogne Aligoté

From a plot of 'Les Pierres Bourgogne' located in the commune of Chassagne Montrachet. This has rich and ripe fruit on the nose with aromas of peach and nectarine, which gives a very expressive impression. Balanced with fleshy fruit and a beautiful, seamless and focused finish.

Sylvain Morey comes from a family whose winemaking history goes back 400 years, in Chassagne-Montrachet. Son of Jean-Marc Morey, a respected winemaker from the 1980s to 2014, he is the brother of winemaker Caroline Morey who is the wife of Pierre Yves Colin. As you might expect, Sylvain Morey also studied oenology in Beaune and Dijon. After work experience in France and California, Sylvain returned to Burgundy. Shortly after, in 1996, the need to explore more and a meeting with Ludmila brought him to the Luberon, a large oyster shell-shaped vineyard in the heart of Provence, north of Aix.

In 2014, Sylvain’s father, Jean-Marc Morey, decided to split his eight-hectare estate. Sylvain and his sister Caroline (wife of Pierre-Yves Colin ) each received four hectares. Sylvain’s plots are spread across the communes of Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay and Saint-Aubin. He also inherited the family home at the bottom of the village. That same year, he produced his first Burgundy wines under the Domaine Sylvain Morey label. With his deep Burgundian roots and the strong confidence gained from his two decades of winemaking in the Luberon, Sylvain has already made an impression on the wine world with his confident winemaking style. His wines, both red and white, show enormous elegance and power, excellent mineral texture, finesse and they are worthy of ageing. Sylvain Morey is a name to watch.
