Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Macherelles AOC 2023

Wine description for Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Macherelles AOC 2023 from Thomas Morey

Character

Thomas Moreys Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Macherelles epitomises the mineral elegance of the southern Côte de Beaune in its purest form. The Les Macherelles vineyard, located on the slope between Chassagne and Puligny, produces Chardonnays of impressive depth and complexity. With 13.0% Alcohol the 2023 is a classic Burgundian interpretation - powerful, but never overloaded.

Terroir and craftsmanship

The Premier Cru site Les Macherelles benefits from calcareous soils with a high stone content, which give the Chardonnay its characteristic minerality. Thomas Morey, representative of a traditional winemaking family in Chassagne-Montrachet, is a master at letting the terroir speak for itself. His restrained cellar technique and respectful handling of the wood emphasise the natural finesse of the site.

The Vintage 2023 promises a wonderful balance between freshness and concentration even in its youth - a sign of the quality of both the terroir and the precision of the craftsmanship.
