2023 Domaine Marc Morey & Fils Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

This Chassagne-Montrachet is crafted from estate parcels across the village, rooted in predominantly limestone-clay soils that give Chardonnay both breadth and tension. The 2023 vintage was marked by balanced ripening and excellent fruit quality, yielding wines of freshness, aromatic lift, and terroir precision.

Grapes are hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine ages for 12–15 months in French oak barrels (around 20–25% new), with lees contact enhancing texture and aromatic depth. Oak is used with restraint, complementing rather than overshadowing the purity of fruit and minerality.

The resulting wine offers immediate charm with orchard and citrus fruit, floral lift, and subtle nutty-spice notes, but also has the structure to evolve gracefully for 8–12 years. It embodies the balance of richness and elegance that defines Chassagne.
