2022 Domaine Sylvain Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Champs-Gains Blanc

Sylvain owns 0.39 hectares of the premier cru Champs Gains. The vines are quite old, around 60 years old and generate a wine that is quite full with a solid mineral structure. It is one of the most beautiful Chassagnes of Morey. In the nose the wine has rosemary, resin and some citrus fruit. In the taste remarkably fresh, creamy, nicely complex and has a convincing long finish

Sylvain Morey is the scion of a family where the winemaking history goes back 400 years, in Chassagne-Montrachet. As the son of Jean-Marc Morey, a respected winemaker in the years 1980 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 afterwards, in 1996, the need to discover 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 his strong self-assurance from his two decades of winemaking in the Luberon, Sylvain has already made an impression in the wine world with his self-assured winemaking style. His wines, both red and white, show enormous elegance and power, excellent mineral texture, finesse and they are worthy of age. Sylvain Morey is a name to watch.
