Domain information:
Winegrowers in Chassagne-Montrachet since 1643. A family with deep roots in this village. Through the generations, the profession and winemaking tradition have been passed down century after century. Initially limited to the role of small owners who also worked as coopers, things really took off with grandfather Albert Morey. Enterprising and hardworking, he was soon joined by his two sons, Bernard and Jean-Marc. In 1981, both brothers decided to set up their own business, which for my father marked the birth of Domaine Jean-Marc Morey, whose wines are acclaimed worldwide for their quality. In 2014, and again in 2016, it was his turn to transfer the 8 hectares under his care to my sister Caroline and me, creating two small estates with the same names!
