Domaine Vincent et Sophie Morey Description
Sophie and Vincent Morey both 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 had inherited the tradition of winemaking from her mother. Finally, in 2006 Sophie and Vincent set up their own domaine and had their first harvest in 2007. Treating their vineyards as if they were 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.
Sourced from a miniscule parcel measuring 0.15 ha (thats 0.3705 acres or 6534 square feet) in Chassagne
Burghound: 93 Points
Subtle but not invisible wood is present on the equally layered aromas of pear, green apple, acacia blossom and a similar hint of spiced tea. There is excellent size, weight and volume to the caressing but powerful larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the firmer and clearly built-to-age finale. This should easily repay a decade plus of cellaring but it's not so tightly wound that it couldn't be approached after only 5 to 7 years.
