About brand

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.

Wine Style: Every Bottle – A Unique Story

„Domaine Marc Morey & Fils“ wine is a subtle harmony of elegance, minerality, and complexity. Each bottle tells its vineyard's story, reflecting its unique character. They seem to whisper about natural processes, about minimal human intervention, which allows the true freshness of the grapes and the finest terroir nuances to shine through.

White wines, primarily made from the royal ‘Chardonnay’, stand out with their pronounced minerality, elegant acidity, and gentle aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits. Aging in oak barrels adds subtle notes of vanilla and toast.
Although white wines dominate here, Marc Morey also produces red wines from ‘Pinot Noir’ – an example of elegance and subtlety. Their soft tannins, red berry aromas, and light earthy finish create a pleasant and memorable experience.

Prestigious Vineyards: Where Uniqueness is Born

Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru: „Les Caillerets“, „Batard-Montrachet“, „Les Chenevottes“, „En Virondot“, „Morgeot“, „Les Vergers“. Each of these vineyards has its own identity, its unique soil and sun-kissed slopes, which bestow upon the wines an unforgettable character and complexity.
Saint-Aubin Premier Cru: „Charmois“, „Virondot“. These areas are also renowned for their quality and ability to convey terroir subtleties.
Puligny-Montrachet: „Champgain“, „Les Pucelles“. This is a true ‘Chardonnay’ paradise, where elegant and mineral wines are born.
Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru: One of Burgundy's most famous vineyards, like a crown, giving the wines exceptional power and aging potential.

When harvest time comes, grapes are picked by hand. Fermentation takes place in both stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, blending old traditions with new possibilities.

Aging and Enjoyment: Time – Wine's Best Friend

„Domaine Marc Morey & Fils“ wines invite you to enjoy them at various moments in their life. They are pleasant and young, yet possess that magical ability to mature and evolve. White wines rest on lees in oak barrels for 10–12 months, while red wines age for up to 15 months.
