Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Chevenottes" 2008 - Domaine Marc Morey

Domaine Marc Morey is run by Bernard Mollard and his wife, who is Marc Morey’s daughter. The old cellar lies under their magnificent home, which was a former coaching inn and Marc Morey’s family home for 100 years. Bernard Mollard’s wines have become world renowned since the mid-nineties, producing some of the finest Chassagne Montrachets.

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Viticulture: Grapes are harvested manually.

Vinification: Fermentation begins in temperature controlled tanks, then the half-fermented juice is transferred into oak barrels to continue fermentation, of which 25-30% are new. The wine was then matured for 10-12 months in oak barrels.

Taste: Medium bodied wines with excellent depth and amplitude. This Chassagne Montrachet is an elegant style with a complex bouquet, wonderful minerality and a long and supple finish.
