Domaine Sylvain Morey Description
Sylvain’s villages-level Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc comes primarily from a half-hectare in La Bergerie (planted between 1958 and 1974), complemented by smaller holdings in nearby Les Perclos and the villages-classified portion of Les Pierres (both planted in the mid-1990s). La Bergerie’s mix of clay and pebbles manifests in the wine’s deft balancing of richness and minerality, and Sylvain’s restrained sulfur regimen and preference for no lees-stirring create a wine of wide-open expressiveness and stunning clarity of fruit. The 20% new wood is all but invisible
Sourced from three differnet village Lieu Dit: La Bergerie, Petit Clos and Les Pierres
Burghound: 89-91 Points
Morey indicated this had been aged in 15% new wood and there is only a trace of it on the fresh and cool aromas of rosemary oil, lemon-lime and petrol scents. There is impressive mid-palate density to the medium-bodied flavors that flash very fine length on the solidly complex and dry finale that is not especially austere. This is a quality Chassagne villages and worth considering.
