Chardonnay: 750ml

$79.99

about this wine:

This appellation covers a minute area of 0.6376 ha. The vegetation is Mediterranean in character with box, white oak and almond trees.

History
Part of this named plot was assigned to the Montrachet appellation by a decision of 1921 whereas it belongs geologically to the Chevalier Montrachet. It is well-suited to vine-growing.

Terroir
The gently sloping ground bears light, brown soils, very stony, but not as deep as those of Bâtard Montrachet.

Tasting
These vines were planted in 1986 on a plot that had long lain fallow and yields high class white wines notable for their elegance and concentration. They combine power with length and purity and have the delicacy and bouquet of a Chevalier-Montrachet.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, September 2012

Ripe pineapple aroma enlivened by high-pitched notes of violet and lavender. Fat, round and sweet on the palate, with subtle soil tones contributing to the wine's impression of power. The palate-coating finish is suave and aromatic but could use a bit more lift. This will need some time in bottle to express its personality.

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.
