Domaine Marc Morey Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru Les Chevenottes 2017
The Les Chevenottes Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru from Domain Marc Morey has a complex bouquet, wonderful minerality, toasty balanced oak and a long and elegant finish. This sublime white Burgundy has all the hallmarks of an outstanding wine. This wine pairs beautifully with most shellfish dishes but also works surprisingly well with game bird dishes. We recommend serving lightly chilled to appreciate the complex aromas and flavours.
Domaine Marc Morey is run by Bernard Mollard and with his wife, who is Marc Morey's daughter. The old cellar lies under their magnificent home, which was a former coaching inn and Marc Morey's family home for 100 years. Bernard Mollard's wines have become world renowned since the mid- nineties, producing some of the finest Chassagne Montrachets.
