Description
Winemaker Bernard and Sabine Mollard is a specialist in making terroir-typed Burgundies such as those from Saint-Aubin, Chasssagne-Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet in various gradations. Respect for the terroir is the key word at Marc Morey. The vines are pruned for optimal yields. The soil is worked all year round. For several years now, the estate has been located in Chassagne Montrachet near Beaune in the department of Côte-d'Or.
The Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc is a particularly pleasant wine, pure, fruity and mineral in the nose and mouth. The soft vanilla, butter and nut nuances of the malolactic fermentation and maturation in wood are well integrated and give the wine extra complexity and balance. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control. The young wine is then transferred to 1 year old oak barrels where it lies on its own lees until the end of the malolactic fermentation, with regular 'bâtonnage' (stirring and stirring) of the 'lees'. This strengthens the mineral character of the wine and gives more structure and creaminess. After 10 months the wine is tapped, clarified and (depending on the vintage) lightly filtered before bottling.
The Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc is a pure, intense nose, floral and fruity, refined and mineral, with a hint of butter, vanilla and well-integrated wood nuances. On the tongue fairly full and firm in structure, mouth-filling, juicy, well-balanced, with a long and persistent mineral finish. A perfect (h)onest Bourgogne from Morey.
