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

This Marc Morey & Fils Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc is a 100% Chardonnay from a vineyard located on a clay-limestone soil. After manual picking, 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 lies on its own lees until the end of the malolactic fermentation, with regular 'bâtonnage' (stirring and stirring) of the 'lees'. This strengthens the mineral character of the wine and gives more structure and creaminess. After 10 months, the wine is tapped, clarified and (depending on the vintage) lightly filtered before bottling. The result is a Chassagne-Montrachet that is fresh and well balanced. Light straw yellow in the glass with a nose of white flowers, light citrus, hint of vanilla and brioche and not too much of anything. In the mouth a good texture with a good persistence in the aftertaste. A delicious wine with refined charcuterie and of course perfect with fish.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc toont een elegant profiel van witte bloemen en lichte citrus met een subtiele vanille- en briochetoon, aangename romigheid en frisse kalkachtige mineraliteit die zorgt voor een verfijnde, aanhoudende afdronk. Door die balans van frisse zuren en zachte houtopvoeding snijdt de wijn vetheid weg en omarmt hij textuur, waardoor hij prachtig samengaat met gevogelte, witte vis, schelpdieren en romige kazen; denk aan geroosterde kip met citroen en tijm of een zalmfilet met boterachtige saus, perfect met licht gebakken coquilles of een in papillote gegaarde zeebaars, en bij kaas kies je voor zachte, romige varianten zoals triple cream of een milde brie.
