Domaine Marc Morey & Fils

“We started picking on September 6 and over the following six days, only picked in the mornings due to the heat,” winemaker Sabine Mollard tells me at her winery in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet. “The fermentation was more difficult because of the amount of sugar, some lots with 3gm/L residual instead of 0.5 to 1gm/L. But the malos were very quick as there was little malic acid. The reds are matured with 30% new oak and will be bottled in January.”

The highlight of this portfolio, the jewel in many years, is their Chassagne-Montrachet Virondot 1er Cru. It is uncommon to find this vineyard bottled separately, but both this 2023 and a 2012 poured blind at a private dinner the same week testify that it deserves to be considered within the top tier of Chassagne Premier Crus. As reported in recent Burgundy articles, I really admire what Mollard is doing. In a region where there is a cluster of self-aggrandizing vignerons more concerned about image than quality, it is more “unglamorous” addresses and unsung heroes like Mollard who keep the region “real.”
