Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Embrazées 2024 from Domaine Thomas Morey is an elegant Chardonnay, taut, mineral and saline, with a creamy texture. Les Embrazées, bordering Puligny Montrachet, combines the richness of Chassagne with the precision of its neighbour. A 2024 vintage of exceptional freshness, which promises remarkable ageing potential.
Terroir and vines
Les Embrazées lies south of Chassagne Montrachet, below Les Baudines, on a red clay limestone soil that is lean and dominated by limestone, on a favourable slope. The Chardonnay vines, most of them planted in the 1950s and 1960s, are farmed biodynamically, without herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilisers, and have held organic certification since 2017. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts, in neutral barrels and tanks, with natural malolactic fermentation and no batonnage. The wine is aged for sixteen to eighteen months on fine lees, with around 20% new oak and a minimal sulphur addition, made in stages during ageing, keeping sulphur below 35 mg/L.
Tasting profile
The colour is a bright golden yellow with green highlights. The nose is elegant and complex, with white flowers, fresh and ripe orchard fruit such as apple, nuanced minerality and delicate spice. On the palate the wine is powerful yet balanced, rich and concentrated, vibrant with freshness, with a creamy, unctuous texture and a saline tension. The finish is persistent and mouth watering, very satisfying.
The estate
Domaine Thomas Morey, based in Chassagne Montrachet, farms twelve and a half hectares, two thirds Chardonnay and one third Pinot Noir, on climats with brown clay limestone soils, rather stony. Thomas Morey is counted among the most influential white wine producers of the village, with Premiers Crus Baudines, Embrazées, Morgeot, Vide Bourse, Chenevottes and Dents de Chien, as well as a Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru.
Food and wine pairing
This Chassagne Premier Cru pairs well with lobster, foie gras, fine shellfish, sweetbreads with morels or veal blanquette in cream. Served between 12 and 13 °C, it is delightful now, or can be kept until 2030 and well beyond.
