Bourgogne Chardonnay AOC 2024

Wine Description for Bourgogne Chardonnay AOC 2024 by Thomas Morey

Character

Thomas Morey belongs to the quiet masters of the Côte de Beaune. His Bourgogne Chardonnay is not a wine that seeks to impress through loudness – it convinces through precision, integrity and Burgundian elegance. With 13.0% vol. and dry vinification, it embodies that type of classic Burgundy white wine that places terroir above technique and drinking pleasure above showiness.

Terroir & Origin

The AOC Bourgogne forms the foundation of the Burgundian wine pyramid – and it is precisely here that a winemaker’s true character reveals itself. Morey, based in Chassagne-Montrachet, draws for this wine from a region characterised by the distinctive limestone-rich soils of the Côte d’Or. Burgundy’s continental climate with its natural tension between warmth and coolness lends the Chardonnay that vibrant structure which distinguishes it from warmer provenance wines. The 2024 vintage brought wines of good freshness and balance to Burgundy despite climatic challenges.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Chardonnay in Burgundy is not merely a grape variety – it is the expression of centuries-old winemaking tradition. Thomas Morey practises a restrained, artisanal approach, allowing the wine to speak without being overwhelmed by excessive oak. To be expected is a vinification that places freshness and mineral clarity at the forefront – characteristic of Morey’s entire domaine, which is renowned for its finesse and directness.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A versatile companion to French cuisine and beyond. Ideal with roast chicken, Quiche Lorraine or a classic Gratin dauphinois. Equally harmonious with pan-fried pike-perch, scallops with beurre blanc or a mature Comté. This wine demands no grand stage – it finds its fulfilment at the table, in conversation, in everyday life.
