2020 Vincent & Sophie Morey Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Baudines", Burgundy, France
Cool aromas of smoky green apple, lemon-lime and discreet spice hints. The mouthfeel is much finer and markedly more mineral-driven than the 2019 vintage with an intensely lemon-suffused finish. This is a classic Baudines of finesse and delicacy.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
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.
