White dry
“Domaine Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot” is a prime example of top-tier white Burgundy, hailing from one of the most famous and highly regarded vineyards in the Chassagne-Montrachet village.
In the glass, the wine reveals a deep, glistening golden color. The complex and highly enticing aromatic bouquet masterfully intertwines notes of ripe white peaches, yellow apples, and crisp citrus fruits, enriched by hints of white flowers, toasted hazelnuts, butter, and freshly baked brioche. On the palate, the wine features a rich, creamy body and volume, perfectly counterbalanced by a vibrant acidity that maintains beautiful tension. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving an elegant impression of toasted almonds and limestone minerality.
The prestigious "Morgeot" Premier Cru vineyard is renowned for giving the ‘Chardonnay’ grapes exceptional power, texture, and volume, meaning this wine will undoubtedly captivate any admirer of classic, structured Burgundy.
The "Morgeot" vineyard is distinguished by its heavier clay and limestone soil, which imparts the weight and rich structure to this wine. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. To achieve maximum complexity, the wine is fermented and subsequently aged for about 10–12 months in French oak barrels (of which approximately 25–30% is new oak). During the aging process, the bâtonnage (lees stirring) technique is regularly applied.
We recommend serving it chilled to a temperature of 12–14 °C. It pairs perfectly with lobster or sea scallops sautéed in butter, as well as richer white fish (such as halibut), chicken or veal dishes with creamy morel sauces, and classic, aged cheeses such as Gruyère or Comté.
If you want to experience the true spirit of Burgundy, it's worth remembering the name „Domaine Marc Morey & Fils“. This winery grew in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet village. Their history began in 1919, when Fernand Morey established his estate there after World War I. Today, the fourth generation – Sabina Mollard and her husband Bernard Mollard – lovingly continue the family traditions. Bernard Mollard is a true talent in his field, one of those winemakers who not only follow tradition but also bravely seek new paths to the hearts of wine lovers.
