2023 Domaine Marc Morey & Fils Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Burgundy, France
ABOUT THE WINE
This Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from one of Burgundy’s most celebrated terroirs, straddling Chassagne- and Puligny-Montrachet. Domaine Marc Morey’s holding lies on deep clay-limestone soils that yield Chardonnay of immense concentration and layered complexity. In 2023, a balanced growing season—with a warm, generous summer tempered by cool nights—allowed the grapes to reach full maturity while retaining vibrant acidity.
Hand-harvested fruit is gently pressed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in French oak barrels, about 40–50% new, for 12–18 months. Lees stirring enhances texture and aromatic depth, while élevage emphasizes refinement over opulence.
The result is a wine of extraordinary balance: opulent notes of peach, quince, and Meyer lemon intertwined with savory dimensions of hazelnut cream, crushed stone, and subtle spice. Its texture is simultaneously rich and sculpted, with Grand Cru scale but a graceful, harmonious finish. This is a wine destined to evolve beautifully over two decades or more.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Domaine Marc Morey & Fils, based in Chassagne-Montrachet, has been a benchmark estate in the Côte de Beaune since its founding in the early 20th century. Today, the domaine is led by Sabine Mollard, the fourth generation of the Morey family, who continues to elevate its reputation through meticulous vineyard work and refined winemaking.
The estate farms around 9 hectares across Chassagne, Puligny, and the Grand Cru vineyards of Bâtard-Montrachet, with a focus on Chardonnay. Farming is sustainable, with careful canopy management and low yields ensuring concentration and purity. In the cellar, the approach is one of precision and patience: gentle pressing, natural fermentations, thoughtful oak usage, and extended élevage bring clarity and depth to the wines.
Marc Morey’s Bâtard-Montrachet is considered the crown jewel of the domaine—a wine that epitomizes the house style of power matched with elegance, offering a true reflection of one of Burgundy’s most hallowed vineyards.
