Product description for Thomas Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Embrazées AOC 2023

Chassagne-Montrachet Les Embrazées comes from the 1er Cru Climat of the same name. Les Embrazées is located on the southern side of Chassagne, directly adjacent to the Santenay district and below Les Baudines. The soil here is somewhat redder and more barren than in Les Baudines, but the wines are always somewhat richer than those from the Climat above. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in a combination of neutral barrels and tanks. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, and the wine remains on its lees without any bâtonnage. The proportion of new wood is around 20%. Sulfurization only takes place in the last six months in the barrel, and this is done several times with minimal doses, so that the wine never reaches a total concentration above 35 mg/l.

Colour

Medium straw yellow with a distinct green component.

Nose

Thomas Morey’s Chassagne-Montrachet Les Embrazées 2023 is certainly comparable to the wine from the neighboring Les Baudines district. It displays a perfectly balanced blend of ripe and cool aromas. They are reminiscent of star fruit, lemons, greengages, and pineapple, buds and white blossoms. Here, however, the green fruit stands out somewhat more clearly. The same applies to the reduction, which currently seems most evident, even if it still resides in the fine, elegant range.

Palate

On the palate, this is again a ripe, juicy wine with light, yellow fruit. It appears sensual and slightly creamy with a subtle sweetness of extract. But this is also a zesty and crisply mineral Chardonnay, whose tension and expansiveness are still difficult to fathom. It is the 1er Cru that certainly needs the most time to fully develop, but almost certainly also has the most potential. The crowning glory of an excellent 2023 white portfolio.
