The Burgundian Morey wine family is widely branched, with deep roots in Chassagne-Montrachet, a small, picturesque village 15 km south of Beaune. The Marc Morey estate is managed by Bernard Mollard, Marc Morey's son-in-law. Bernard Mollard is a passionate wineman with an exceptional sense for quality. Winemaker Bernard and Sabine Mollard specializes 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 keyword at 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.

This Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru is a 100% Chardonnay from a vineyard situated on clay-limestone soil. After hand-picking, 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 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru has a delicious, precise bouquet of yellow flowers and a light limestone scent, with a hint of blackberry leaf. It has an intense nose, ripe, fruity, and mineral, with a hint of butter and vanilla and well-integrated oak nuances. The palate is well-balanced with candied orange peel on the attack and the typical limestone terroir expression. On the tongue, pure purity, minerality, delicate fresh taste, balanced structure, with a complex, persistent mineral finish.

FUN FACT: The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you come to pick up the wine, you often receive a nice discount. You will see your discount immediately when you select 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht, almost next to the A16, with ample parking.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru toont rijp geel fruit en witte bloemen met een subtiele toast, boterachtige ronding en een uitgesproken kalkachtige mineraliteit die voor een precieze, zijdezachte structuur zorgt. Dankzij die frisse zuurgraad en minerale lengte combineert hij prachtig met gevogelte, witte vis, schelpdieren en romige kazen omdat hij zowel het vet afsnijdt als de smaken verfijnt, vooral wanneer gevogelte licht geroosterd is, vis kort gebakken of gegrild en schelpdieren eenvoudig gestoomd of in een lichte beurre blanc worden geserveerd.
