about this wine:

Here we are in the presence of the most extensive 1er cru of the Beaune appellation (around 31.5 ha).
Some think the name "grèves" derives from Latin and means "gravel". Others think it refers to a conspicuously sandy soil.

History
Vines have been grown here since Roman times.
Nearby, embedded in the "Grèves" climat, lies the very famous "Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus".
Our family has been working this parcel of Beaune "Grèves" since the 1969 harvest.

Terroir
This is a very handsome vineyard. The very long rows (around 450 metres) make it possible to appreciate the differences in soil type we spoke of earlier. From the foot of the slope we harvest several "ouvrées"* of Pinot Noir from vines planted in 1988. These are blended with grapes from the middle and upper slopes, planted in 1981.

Tasting
This high-quality red wine with its deep coloration and  delicate aromas is mouth-filling, generous and silky and has always been one of Beaune's most highly thought-of crus.

About Winery

Thomas Morey belongs to the tenth generation of this Chassagne family. He grew up familiar with his grandparents' holding and then worked for 12 years on that of his parents. Then, in 2006, he decided to set up his own domaine together with his wife Sylvie. Thus the Thomas Morey domaine put its name to its first vintage in 2007.

 
The history of the Morey family in Chassagne-Montrachet dates back to the middle of the 17th century. Claude Morey, a native of Paris l'Hôpital, a small commune of Saône-et-Loire lying some ten kilometers from Chassagne-Montrachet, arrived in the village in 1643. He and his numerous descendants worked in the vineyards or as coopers. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that vine-growing became their principal activity.
 
Since then, generation has followed generation, acquiring by inheritance or purchase plots of vine-growing or fallow land and passing these on to their descendants. Today, the domaine has evolved considerably from what it was in the days of Thomas Morey's grandparents.
