Lean, vibrant, high-energy – just like the man himself. The wines of Thomas Morey belong in the same stylistic mould as those of fellow growers Bernard Moreau and Paul Pillot. And while he is new to the Uncorked portfolio, Thomas is not new to Chassagne-Montrachet – there have been Moreys here since 1643. He learned his craft at the side of his father Bernard, and over time developed a very clear winemaking signature all his own. In 2006 he divided the family domaine with his brother Vincent, and since then has been master of his own destiny, making a finely-crafted set of wines from some of the village’s best premier cru sites. He employs minimal new wood and batonnage; the style is all about high-tension, purity and precision. (NT 28/02/22)
