THOMAS MOREY, France

The rigorously talented Thomas Morey, younger son of Bernard, has set up his cellar in the old family house in Chassagne-Montrachet, he represents the tenth generation of the Morey family in Chassagne-Montrachet.

Diligent, serious, a hardworking perfectionist, he has renovated the winery into a very clean and organised operative. He works around 13 hectares diligently and skilfully, having already established himself as one of the stars of the appellation. His style is different from that of his father, proving to be more linear and tauter with more initial restraint which is closer to the modern idiom of fine white Burgundy.

Viticulture

The estate spans approximately 13 hectares across renowned appellations, including Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Beaune, Santenay, and Maranges . The vineyards feature old vines, some dating back to the 1950s and 1960s, planted in clay-limestone soils. In 2017, the Domaine achieved organic certification, reflecting their commitment to sustainable viticulture.

Winemaking

Thomas Morey's winemaking approach emphasizes minimal intervention to highlight the purity and complexity of the fruit. White wines undergo barrel fermentation and aging for at least 12 months with around 20% being new oak, with occasional bâtonnage. Red wines are vinified gently to maintain a supple texture, with prolonged aging in vats for at least 15 months before being bottled unfiltered and unfined .
