Description

The Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes AOC 2023 is a superb expression of white Burgundy, renowned for its elegance and precision. This 100% Chardonnay comes from the Premier Cru vineyard of Les Chenevottes, known for its distinct clay-limestone soil that imparts a signature finesse.

The nose is lovely and precise, revealing yellow flowers and a delicate limestone scent, with a hint of blackberry leaf. It boasts an intense, ripe, fruity, and mineral aromatic profile, complemented by subtle hints of butter and vanilla, alongside well-integrated wood nuances.

On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced, opening with notes of candied orange peel that lead into the typical limestone terroir expression. The taste offers purity, minerality, and a delicate fresh character, supported by a balanced structure. It culminates in a complex, persistent mineral finish.

After careful manual picking, alcoholic fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control. The young wine is then transferred to 1-year-old oak barrels, where it rests on its lees until the completion of malolactic fermentation.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 10-12° with veal with grilled mushrooms, lobster in butter sauce or almond trout.
