Santenay Rouge Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Thomas Morey
Domaine Thomas Morey
Domaine Thomas Morey is a family owned estate based in Chassagne Montrachet, representing the modern evolution of one of Burgundy’s most respected winegrowing families. Thomas Morey established his domaine in 2007 after working alongside his father at Domaine Bernard Morey, choosing to focus on meticulous parcel selection and precise vineyard farming across Chassagne Montrachet, Saint Aubin and surrounding appellations. The estate is known for its rigorous attention to detail in the vineyard, with sustainable viticulture and careful soil management aimed at preserving balance and site transparency. In the cellar, Thomas Morey employs a restrained approach, using indigenous fermentations, measured oak influence and long élevage to emphasise purity, texture and the structural identity of each climat.
Santenay Vieilles Vignes is a Pinot Noir sourced from older vine parcels in Santenay, where clay limestone soils and favourable mid slope exposures contribute to wines of depth, structure and natural concentration. The old vines bring lower yields and greater phenolic intensity, resulting in a more layered and textured expression of the appellation. Vineyard work is carried out with precision and respect for balance, ensuring slow ripening and full aromatic development. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, with a proportion of whole cluster inclusion depending on the vintage to enhance aromatic complexity and fine tannic structure. Élevage is conducted in French oak barrels with a controlled level of new wood, allowing integration while preserving purity of fruit. The wine shows dark cherry, blackberry and crushed raspberry alongside violets, subtle spice and earthy undertones. The palate is supple yet structured, with refined tannins, fresh acidity and a persistent, gently savoury finish that reflects the depth of older vine material in Santenay.
