Where it comes from
The roots of this wine lie in the prestigious terroir of Chassagne-Montrachet, at the heart of Burgundy's wine country. This deep connection imparts a distinctive flavour profile, characterised by a taut and vibrant sip. Domaine Sylvain Morey cultivates its vines on just two hectares, ensuring meticulous care for each individual plant. The renowned soil of the region imparts an elegant savoury texture to the grapes, typical of the area's great white wines, while preserving the vitality of the fruit.
How it is produced
Domaine Sylvain Morey crafts this white wine by enhancing the qualities of the Aligoté grape variety, using a vinification process designed to preserve maximum aromatic clarity. The result is a glass with remarkable potential, capable of evolving in the cellar and achieving longevity of up to ten years. Served at the ideal temperature between 8 and 10°C, it proves to be an excellent companion at the table: its vibrant agility naturally enhances seafood and shellfish, and it also pairs beautifully with vegetarian dishes, white meats and cheeses.
