History: Sophie and Vincent Morey come from families of winegrowers in Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet, respectively. After studies at Beaune’s Lycée Viticole and work experience in St-Emilion in the Bordeaux region, Vincent rejoined the family domaine led by his father Bernard Morey in 1986. In the same year, Sophie was vinifying her first vintage for the Ménager-Belland domaine in Santenay, where she inherited the winemaking tradition from her mother. Finally, in 2006, Sophie and Vincent set up their domaine and had their first harvest in 2007. Treating their vineyards as gardens, Sophie and Vincent agree that fine wines start with good grapes, require attention to detail, and demand the winegrower and winemaker to be adaptable vintage after vintage.

Tasting Notes:

Cane sugar on the nose. Lively acidity on the palate; it has lots of power, though. Rich and round brioche, toasted bread, and flavors of almond paste—marzipan. The texture of syrup, fruit jelly, and grape concentrate. Rich and powerful yet with lovely purity on the finish.
