Often cited as one of the domaine’s best crus, it boasts one of the most intense aromatics from the domaine this year with scents of white peach, walnut oil, linseed and just a slight petrol-like aroma in the background. The palate is well balanced but certainly rich and powerful, sporting an almost viscous texture and a gorgeous, honeyed finish that caresses the mouth. I love the depth and drive of this Virondot, a great success for winemaker Sabine Morey in a challenging vintage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Round, with a buttery edge to the peach and apricot fruit.

The estate was founded after World War I, when Fernand Morey acquired a couple of hectares of Chassagne-Montrachet and a 19th-Century coaching inn at the heart of the village. His son Marc took over in 1944 and expanded the estate. Marc officially retired in 1987, leaving his son-in-law Bernard Mollard at the helm. Bernard's daughter Sabine joined the family business in 2003, and has gradually taken over the winemaking. The vineyard parcels total 9.5 hectares (23.5 acres) across 13 different appellations from Bourgogne Aligoté to Bâtard-Montrachet. There are village-level Chassagne-Montrachets in red and white, and five different Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Crus, as well as one parcel in Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles. The estate's flagship label, however, is the Premier Cru En Virondot bottling. Marc Morey also has vines in nearby Saint-Aubin. The domaine had been larger but, in the late 1970s, when Bernard Mollard officially took over as winemaker, the holdings were divided between Marc Morey's children. One son, Michel, took his share to found what is now Domaine Morey-Coffinet. Vineyards are harvested by hand, and fruit is fermented with ambient yeasts. Typically, the wines are aged for 11 months in oak, around 30 percent of which is new. Much of this aging is on the lees with regular stirring.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42824784543882,"sku":"","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/16_06f74fc3-1a19-4703-9dfb-fad7f553eef8.png?v=1678111261","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/products\/2016-domaine-marc-morey-chassagne-montrachet-1er-cru-en-virondot","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
