Vincent & Sophie Morey, Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Caillerets, Premier Cru 2020

“Airy and complex aromas are comprised by notes of citrus confit, mineral reduction, white flowers and a vaguely exotic nuance in the form of passion fruit. Once again there is very good volume and mid-palate density to the beautifully textured medium weight flavors that exude evident minerality on the sappy and seductive finish that flashes even better persistence. This balanced effort should amply repay up to a decade of cellaring.”-93BH♥, sweet spot outstanding

Sophie and Vincent Morey both come from families of winegrowers in Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet respectively. After studies at Beaune’s Lycée Viticole and work experience in St-Emilion in the Bordeaux region, Vincent rejoined the family domaine led by his father Bernard Morey in 1986. In the same year Sophie was vinifying her first vintage for the Ménager-Belland domaine in Santenay where she had inherited the tradition of winemaking from her mother. Finally, in 2006 Sophie and Vincent set up their own domaine and had their first harvest in 2007. Treating their vineyards as if they were gardens, Sophie and Vincent agree that fine wines start with good grapes, require attention to detail, and demand the winegrower and winemaker to be adaptable vintage after vintage.
