The Chassagne Montrachet blanc 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean 2024 from Domaine Thomas Morey is a fine white from the Côte de Beaune, elegant, precise and deeply layered. Drawn from a historic premier cru sitting just above the village, it combines the generosity of Chassagne with the mineral tension that defines Thomas Morey's style. This bottle qualifies for the Compagnon tier of the Confrérie des Clos Vivants.
The terroir and vines
Clos Saint Jean lies on the slope overlooking the village of Chassagne Montrachet, neighbouring the premiers crus La Maltroie and Les Chenevottes. Its name recalls the monks who once worked these vines. Chardonnay grows here in shallow, very stony clay limestone soils resting on bedrock. This well exposed site yields wines that are both full and mineral, with fine structure. The harvest is carried out by hand. In 2024, a cool and demanding vintage produced low yields and whites of remarkable precision, bright with freshness.
Tasting profile
The colour is pale, brilliant gold. The nose opens on lemon, pear and white peach, with notes of white flowers, hazelnut, fresh butter and a touch of flint. The palate is at once full and straight, with a silky texture carried by lively acidity. The finish is long, saline and mineral. It will gain complexity over eight to ten years.
The estate
Thomas Morey comes from a long line of Chassagne Montrachet winegrowers. Son of Bernard Morey, he founded his own estate in 2007 from a portion of the family vineyards. He works his vines with great rigour and vinifies precise, pure and taut whites with discreet ageing. He is now regarded as one of the most talented growers in the Côte de Beaune.
Food and wine pairing
Serve between 11 and 13 °C, decanting briefly if young. It will flatter a roast lobster, turbot with beurre blanc, pan seared scallops, Bresse chicken in cream and morel sauce, or sweetbreads. With cheese, it pairs beautifully with a 24 month Comté or a Cîteaux.
