How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inThe plot on the south-east facing vineyard 'Les Embrazées' comprises 3.79 ha and is situated at an altitude of 230 metres on a hill, which borders the municipality of Santenay. The somewhat red soil contains a lot of gravel. Enjoy this for the next 12 to 15 years. The Thomas Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Embrazee is a full, but extremely elegant chardonnay, exuberant in aroma, clear and beautifully pure, wonderfully fresh with a rich, subtle experience, in which juicy fruit such as pear and apricot, all this supported by modest oak.
ABOUT THOMAS & Sylvie MOREY
It was clear to Thomas and Sylvie that they wanted to work in their domain as their grandparents had done. That meant completely forgoing herbicides, pesticides and artificial fertilizers. That was in 2011. In 2014 they officially tackled this and obtained the certification in 2017. When you talk to Thomas Morey, he always looks back on the time with his grandparents, who never touched a chemical spray and always made good wines. He himself wanted to continue with the 'old-school approach', as he calls it - especially because he never felt comfortable with the sprays that were used at home. In the cellar, Thomas Morey works exclusively with spontaneous fermentation and has never used sulphur during fermentation. He always puts the sulphur in the barrels first - and only very minimally and in multiple doses - so that it reaches a maximum of 35 mg/l over the last six months of barrel storage. The white wines are matured on the lees, there is no batonnage and the share of new wood is a moderate 20%. The wines are lightly filtered before bottling. The Pinot is largely destemmed and carefully matured in the wood. The wines remain in the barrel for only about nine months and are then bottled. Read more under the Tab: Winery

The 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Embrazees boasts considerable depth and power. Yellow stone fruits, crushed rocks and flowers emerge from this tightly wound, cool Chassagne. This is an especially vibrant, focused style of Chassagne, with expressive aromatics, prominent minerality and fabulous overall balance. The Embrazees takes on a little more richness as it sits in the glass, yet remains energetic and vibrant throughout. It could use another year or two in bottle to flesh out a little more. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.
This is a gorgeous set of wines from Thomas Morey. In the 2010s I find gorgeous transparency to site and tons of refinement, something I saw less of in the 2009s. Yields were down 15-20%, which is pretty good considering the fate many of Morey’s colleagues suffered. Because Morey bottles before the following harvest, the cellar is warmed to start the malos, which in 2010 were done by January, to give the wines six months or so to settle prior to bottling. Fans of the domaine should be thrilled to learn that production is set to go up in 2011 with three new wines; Macherelles, Chenevottes, and Clos St. Jean, while quantities will increase slightly in the Morgeot and Batard.

From: Variations on a Theme: Burgundy 2020 Whites (Jul 2024)
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Embrazées 1er Cru has a more floral bouquet. Wilted white flowers complement the slightly honeyed fruit, yet the mineralité prevails and is accentuated with time in the glass. The palate is nicely balanced with lime, citrus peel and hazelnut notes. A very slight oxidation actually imparts complexity towards the finish. This is a complex Chassagne-Montrachet that should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Morey's name is not uncommon on the Côte de Beaune. Just down the street from Thomas Morey there are two other domains with the same surname. Since its start in 2007, Thomas Morey has built up an excellent reputation. The winemaker comes from a family whose tradition in Chassagne goes back to the 17th century. Born in Paris-l'Hôpital, a small commune in the department of Saône-et-Loire, about ten kilometers from Chassagne-Montrachet, Claude Morey arrived in 1643. He and his numerous descendants worked in the vineyards or as a cooper (Tonnier) and gradually acquired vineyards and plots. It was not until the end of the 19th century that viticulture became the main activity. After working for several years with his father Bernard and brother Vincent, Thomas and his wife Sylvie decided in 2006 to set up their own domaine, in which the first vintage was produced in 2007. Thomas was able to take over many of his family's plots that had been planted in the 1950s and 1960s. Gradually he also received offers from neighbors to take over one or the other plot or to rent it for a long time. And so his terrain portfolio grew to about 13 hectares. The vines are up to 70 years old. For the past few decades, his father has always planted new plants from massive selections of old vines.
It was clear to Thomas and Sylvie that they wanted to work in their domain as their grandparents had done. That meant completely dispensing with herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. That was in 2011. In 2014 they then officially tackled this and achieved certification in 2017. When you talk to Thomas Morey, he always looks back to his grandparents, who never touched a chemical syringe and always made good wines. He himself wanted to continue with the "old-school approach", as he calls it - mainly because he was never comfortable with the sprays used at home. In the cellar, Thomas Morey works exclusively with spontaneous fermentation and has never used sulfur during fermentation. He always puts the sulfur into the barrels first - and only very minimally and over several doses - so that it reaches a maximum of 35 mg/l over the last six months of barrel storage.

The Pinot is largely destemmed and carefully aged in the wood. The wines only stay in the barrel for about nine months and are then bottled.
Thomas Morey's white wines come from Saint-Aubin, Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. Bâtard-Montrachet is the house's Grand Cru with vines that are around 70 years old. The Pinot Noir comes from Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet, Maranges and Santenay. The quality level model and price structure are very apparent in Thomas Morey's wines. The completely unvarnished, very pure wines clearly show the terroir from which they come.
Deze 2022 Thomas Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Embrazée toont een volle, elegante chardonnay met helder sappig fruit van peer en abrikoos, frisse citrusaccenten en een uitgesproken mineraliteit gedragen door subtiel, rijp eiken en een nootachtige hint. Daardoor sluit de wijn prachtig aan bij gevogelte, witte vis, schelp- en schaaldieren en romige kazen: de frisse zuren en minerale structuur snijden door rijke sauzen en versterken de delicate zeevruchten zonder te overheersen. Vooral geroosterde of licht gebraden kip met kruiden, een romige beurre blanc bij zeebaars of gegrilde sint-jakobsschelpen en rijpe kazen zoals Comté of een zachte Brie tillen de combinatie naar een hoger niveau.
