At an altitude of between 220 and 325 meters, facing south-east, the plots benefit from a temperate, slightly continental climate.

Domaine Jean-Marc MOREY wines

Domaine Jean-Marc Morey makes dry white wines from Chardonnay. These include Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru and Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru. These wines offer a powerful, fruity, mineral taste. Pinot Noir provides the domaine with wines from Beaune Premier Cru, Santenay Premier Cru and also Chassagne-Montrachet, an appellation that is rarer in red than in white.

Jean-Marc Morey continues a family tradition that has lasted for twenty generations in this region. But the winemaker is also developing his own personal style. He follows the principles of Max Léglise, a forerunner of organic winemaking, of whom he was a disciple. He favors traditional methods. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the viticulture is sustainable. The winemaker reveals all the nobility of the wines from this Côte-de-Beaune terroir. Following the producer 's retirement in 2016, the estate was shared between his two children Caroline and Sylvain.
