Domaine Marc Morey is a fourth-generation winery established in 1919 and based in Chassagne-Montrachet. Today the estate is run by Sabine Mollard, granddaughter of Marc Morey, himself the son of Fernand Morey, who first bought vines in the village after returning from WWI. Marc expanded on Fernand’s initial land purchases and began to bottle the estate’s wine production in 1937 under the name Domaine Fernand Morey. Marc Morey and his daughter Marie-Josephe, with her husband Bernard Mollard, continued the augmentation of the domaine, renaming the estate Domaine Marc Morey in 1977. Today Domaine Marc Morey produces some 60,000 bottles from its 9.5 hectares of vineyards in Chassagne, Puligny, and St. Aubin. (importer notes)
The 2023 Domaine Marc Morey Bourgogne Aligoté is sourced from select vineyards with clay/calcareous soils throughout Côte de Beaune. Vinified and aged on the lees in stainless-steel tanks, it is rich yet infused with bright acidity. Aromas of lemon zest with a mineral edge lead to a palate with flavors of apples, Honeydew melons, and pears laced with wet stone and the merest hint of baking spice on the long finish.
ABV: 12.5%
