Thomas Morey
When the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti entrusts a winegrower with the care of its precious vines in the legendary Le Montrachet Grand Cru, it speaks for itself. Domaine Thomas Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet enjoys this rare honour - an accolade for the exceptional vineyard expertise of the 10th generation winemaker. Since founding his own winery in 2007, Thomas and his wife Sylvie have cultivated 13 hectares in seven villages of the Côte de Beaune, including six Premier Crus in Chassagne-Montrachet and the Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet with 70-year-old vines. His certified organic, elegant and precise Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are produced with minimal sulphur and a deliberately restrained use of wood - a modern interpretation of the Burgundian terroir.
More about Thomas Morey
When the DRC comes knocking at your door
There are moments in the life of a winegrower that change everything. For Thomas Morey, it was the call from the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti with a request to plant their vines in the Le Montrachet Grand Cru to cultivate. This request is more than just an order - it is the highest recognition for decades of precision work in the vineyard. Thomas, the 10th generation of a family that has been rooted in Chassagne-Montrachet since 1643, had earned this reputation through meticulous vineyard work on his own 57 plots. Since sharing the estate with his brother Vincent in 2007 and founding his own domaine with his wife Sylvie, Thomas has shown that he is far more than just the son of the legendary Bernard Morey.
Elegance instead of opulence - a new Morey style
Thomas is consciously moving away from the fuller, more wood-accentuated style of his famous father. Inspired by greats such as Jean-Marc Roulot, he creates „racy, fine-boned“ Wines with surgical precision. His Chardonnay-cuvées like the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Embrazées mature for 16-18 months in 228 and 350 litre barrels with only 20% of new wood. No or minimal bâtonnage allows the terroir characteristics to shine through unadulterated. For the red wines such as the Beaune 1er Cru Beaune-Grèves Thomas completely dispenses with fining and filtration - a trust in nature that has to be earned.
Organic pioneer with a minimalist philosophy
Thomas began the conversion to organic farming back in 2011, Officially certified organic since 2017. No sulphur during fermentation, exclusively spontaneous fermentation and a maximum of 35 mg/l of sulphur in the finished wine - these parameters show a winemaker who gives maximum space to the terroir. This philosophy is particularly impressive in the Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Le Puits, where Thomas proves that even the lesser-known appellations of the Côte de Beaune can be extraordinary elegance are capable. Similar to the A. et P. de Villaine In Bouzeron, Thomas epitomises a new generation of Burgundian winemakers who combine tradition with modern ecological awareness. However, his Crown Jewel remains the Bâtard-Montrachet with 70-year-old vines - a wine that conveys all the finesse and complexity of the Burgundian terroir in its purest form.
