Established in his grandfather’s cellar in Chassagne-Montrachet, Thomas Morey looks after 9ha of vines covering six communes: Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne, Puligny, St-Aubin, and Beaune. Before that, Thomas worked in the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti to look after their vines in Le Montrachet Grand Cru.
Making a racy, fine-boned style of wine, Thomas' wines are discretion and precise. The style has been further refined, with longer maturation for the better cuvées, now no longer bottled before the next harvest, and a reduction in new oak content, never particularly high. Now Thomas uses a maximum of 15 percent for any wine and none on the very small cuvées.
There is an excellent range of premier crus to choose from – but do not ignore the straight Chassagne, which comes from six plots in the northern, which is very representative of Thomas Morey’s fine-boned style.
