In the glass
Colour
Bright golden yellow with a radiant sheen.
Nose
Inviting citrus notes, pome and stone fruit, accompanied by fine crushed stone, delicate patisserie as well as restrained hints of wood and spice.
Palate
Elegant, juicy and dense, with a precise body, gripping acidity, vibrant minerality and mouth-watering salinity on the finish.
Character
Polished and energetic – the most open and accessible of Morey's white Chassagnes, round and silky yet with a clear line.
Pairing
An ideal companion to grilled sole fillet, poultry in a delicate cream sauce or mature Comté.
Notes
From the early-ripening Les Houillères parcel (massale selection, planted in 1989) on red clay-limestone soil; spontaneous fermentation, no bâtonnage, only around 20 % new wood and a maximum of 35 mg/l sulphur – organically certified precision in the glass.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Bright golden yellow, radiant, clear and inviting in the glass.
Nose
Finely chiselled and luminous: citrus fruits, alongside pome and stone fruit such as white peach. Beneath this, only a discreet reduction, fine wood, delicate spice notes, crushed rock and a hint of pâtisserie resonate.
Palate
Elegant, juicy and of rounded, silky density, yet as precise as if polished. A gripping acidity meets vibrant minerality and skilfully restrained wood. The body is clearly defined, and the energy of this young Chassagne is positively electrifying.
Finish
Mouth-wateringly saline, long and taut — a finale that traces the limestone of the soil long after.
Terroir & origin
The wine comes from nine plots, primarily Les Houillères — planted in 1989 via sélection massale — with portions from En Journoblot and declassified Premier Crus. The flat, deep reddish-brown clay-limestone soils extend the famous Les Enceignères vineyard site along the hilltop ridge. As Les Houillères ripens particularly early, it is almost always harvested first.
Grape variety & vinification
Pure Chardonnay, fermented with indigenous yeasts — partly in neutral casks, partly in tank. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, and the wine remains on its lees entirely without bâtonnage. The proportion of new wood is around 20 %; sulphur is added only late and in minimal doses, never exceeding 35 mg/l.
Food recommendations
A brilliant companion to scallops on cauliflower purée, sole in beurre blanc or veal scaloppine with lemon. Also a choice of real depth alongside creamy risotto with chanterelles or aged Comté.
Special features
Thomas Morey — the tenth generation of winemakers, organically certified since 2017 — tends the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s vines in Montrachet. This village wine displays the very same bearing: precision rather than opulence, finesse rather than volume — and at present it is the most open, most accessible wine in his Chassagne line-up.
