Chassagne-Montrachet from Bernard Morey
Bernard’s sons, Thomas and Vincent, are now working in partnership with their father. Thomas has worked in California at Sonoma-Cutrer while Vincent remained in Chassagne. On their advice, the estate no longer filters any of their red wines and the white wines are kept on their lees until bottling to get extra fat and texture.
The Chassagne-Montrachet AC comes from 35-40 year old vines. It is aged in 15% new oak with the remainder in two to five year old barrels.
As often in Côte d’Or, the list of wines produced is rather long:
