Region
The combined north to south strip of Burgundy`s finest vineyard regions; the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. It is here on the narrow band of iron and limestone soils that the most widely acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are cultivated.
Producer
The Morey family has been located in a C19 coaching inn situated in the village of Chassagne for over 100 years. It serves as a residence and restaurant. Today, run by Bernard Mollard, the 9ha Marc Morey estate is one of Chassagne Montrachet`s most important and influential, using traditional vinification to create full-bodied, complex and powerful white Burgundy. Vinification is very much hands off, judicious use of new oak (only 25%) and lees aging with batonage for the whites.
