    The wine

    Situé à l'extrême sud de l'appellation Chassagne, ce cru fait la fierté de la famille Morey depuis plusieurs générations. Les vieilles vignes poussent sur un coteau où se mêlent argiles rouges, cailloux et fossiles. Cette parcelle se nomme "Les Embrazées » en raison de ses cailloux emmagasinant la chaleur tout au long de la journée et la restituant à la vigne pendant la nuit permettant au chardonnay de mûrir dans de parfaites conditions.
    A la dégustation ce vin est impressionnant. Très parfumé, il s'apprécie dès les premières années. Il délivre d'intenses notes de fleurs blanches et de fruits blancs très frais. Donnez-lui quelques années de plus et il vous dévoilera tous ses secrets.

    Information about domain Thomas Morey

    Situated in Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Thomas Morey is the creation of Thomas Morey and his spouse Sylvie. It came about in 2006, with this producer representing the tenth generation of Moreys in his village; he wanted to spread his wings after working for 12 years on the family estate. His first vintage is a 2007. As you can imagine, this family history is a long one, dating back to the 17th century, the period when Claude Morey settled in the village now globally reputed for its wine. He worked in the viticultural industry, plotting the path of his descendants who would become producers, barrel- and cask-makers. Then, at the end of the 19th century, the Morey family made winemaking their main activity. Over time, the domain expanded into more parcels and wildland, building up a lovely agricultural heritage. It's with the strong savoir-faire inherited from his ancestors that Thomas Morey can now craft and offer these exceptional cuvées.
