Domaine Thomas Morey, heir to a demanding family know-how, handles the harvest with goldsmith-like precision, favouring a faithful expression of the place. Careful pressing, controlled fermentations, élevage adapted to the vintage's texture, everything contributes to preserving the balance, depth and tension that mark great ageworthy whites. Here there is no showmanship, but a clear reading of the terroir, where the substance is sculpted by meticulous élevage, offering relief, energy and exemplary weight on the palate.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance : Luminous gold with pale highlights, a clean brilliance, promising a wine both concentrated and vibrant.
• Nose : Complex and nuanced, combining ripe stone fruits, precise citrus, white flowers and a fine touch of hazelnut, underscored by chalky minerality and a subtle caress of gentle spices.
• Palate : Broad, direct attack, silky texture carried by salivating tension. The sap unfolds in layers, between generous depth and sovereign freshness, leading to an interminable, vibrant finish of great purity.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this Grand Cru between 11 et 13°C in large white wine glasses to give the bouquet the oxygenation it deserves. Opening a few minutes before serving, or a gentle decanting, allows the textures to relax and the aromas to blossom. Store your bottles calmly, away from light and temperature variations, cork horizontal. This wine has significant ageing potential and will gain complexity with time, revealing beautiful nuances as its aromatic framework unfolds.
