2024 Domaine Marc Morey & Fils Bourgogne Blanc
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 inWinemakers Bernard and Sabine Mollard specialize in producing terroir-driven Burgundies, such as those from Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Puligny-Montrachet, in various grades. Respect for the terroir is the key word for Marc Morey. The vines are pruned for optimal yields. The soil is worked year-round. For several years, the estate has been located in Chassagne-Montrachet near Beaune in the Côte-d'Or department.
The Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc is a particularly delightful wine, pure, fruity, and mineral on the nose and palate. The soft vanilla, butter, and nutty nuances from the malolactic fermentation and wood aging are well integrated, lending the wine extra complexity and balance. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control. Subsequently, the young wine is transferred to one-year-old oak barrels where it rests on its lees until the end of malolactic fermentation, with regular bâtonnage (stirring) of the lees. This enhances the wine's mineral character and provides more structure and creaminess. After 10 months, the wine is racked, clarified, and (depending on the vintage) lightly filtered before bottling.
The Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc has a pure, intense nose, floral and fruity, refined and mineral, with a hint of butter, vanilla, and well-integrated oak nuances. On the palate, it is quite full and firm in structure, mouth-filling, juicy, well-balanced, with a long and persistent mineral finish. A perfect, honest, and delicious Bourgogne from Morey.

Deze Bourgogne Blanc biedt een zuivere, bloemige en fruitige neus met frisse steenfruittonen, goed geïntegreerde vanille en boter uit de houtopvoeding en een aanhoudende, minerale en romige mondvulling. Dankzij die frisse zuurgraad, de volle structuur en de subtiele houttonen vormt de wijn een mooie tegenhanger voor gevogelte, witte vis, schelpdieren en romige kazen omdat hij zowel snijdt door vet als de natuurlijke zilte en zachte smaken van zeevruchten en gevogelte versterkt. Vooral geroosterde of in de oven gegaarde kip met citroen en boter, licht gegrilde of op de huid gebakken witte vis en coquilles of garnalen geserveerd met een beurre blanc of romige saus halen het beste in deze wijn naar boven, net als milde kazen zoals Brie of jonge Comté.
