ABOUT THE WINE

The Les Chenevottes vineyard sits just below the Grand Cru Le Montrachet, sharing the same southeast exposure and limestone-rich soils that endow its wines with both aromatic lift and structural tension. In 2023, a well-balanced growing season produced pristine fruit with vibrant acidity, giving the wine both richness and freshness.

Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, gently pressed, and fermented with native yeasts. Élevage takes place in French oak barrels (about 25–30% new) for 12–15 months, with careful lees aging to enhance texture while preserving clarity. The result is a wine that harmonizes ripe orchard and citrus fruit with subtle toasted notes and a persistent mineral drive.

Texturally, the wine combines a silky mid-palate with precise, chiseled structure, showing the hallmark balance of Chassagne at its best. Its energy and elegance ensure immediate appeal while promising excellent development over the next 10–15 years.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Domaine Marc Morey & Fils, based in Chassagne-Montrachet, is a historic family estate now guided by Sabine Mollard, the fourth generation of the Morey lineage. Known for producing wines of elegance, balance, and terroir transparency, the domaine farms around 9 hectares across Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru.

The estate practices sustainable viticulture, emphasizing low yields, meticulous vineyard care, and manual harvesting. In the cellar, the approach is gentle and precise—indigenous yeast fermentations, measured oak influence, and extended élevage bring definition and depth without overshadowing terroir character.

The Les Chenevottes Premier Cru is a jewel in the domaine’s portfolio: situated beside some of Burgundy’s most prestigious vineyards, it consistently produces wines that combine Premier Cru finesse with remarkable depth, embodying the precision and poise that define Domaine Marc Morey & Fils.
