The Marc Morey estate was founded in 1919 by Fernand Morey, who began his career as a vigneron with a couple of hectares in Chassagne-Montrachet and purchased a 19th century coaching inn right in the centre of the village, which still serves as a residence and restaurant. His son Marc took over in 1944 following his father’s death and he expanded the landholdings and introduced domaine bottling. Today, the family is still based there and it is Marc’s daughter Marie-Josèphe and her husband, Bernard Mollard, who run the estate with their daughter Sabine. The 9ha Marc Morey estate is one of Chassagne Montrachet`s most important and influential, using traditional vinification to create full-bodied, complex and powerful white Burgundy. Vinification is very much hands off, judicious use of new oak (only 25%) and lees ageing with batonage for the whites.
