Sophie and Vincent Morey both come from families of wine-growers. They set up their own domaine in 2006 and had their first harvest in 2007. When Vincent’s father Bernard Morey, a leading personality in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet, took his retirement, Vincent took over the a part of the holding. He already had twenty years’ experience behind him. After studies at Beaune’s Lycee Viticole and work-experience at Saint-Emilion in the Bordeaux region, Vincent rejoined the family domaine in 1986. In the same year Sophie was vinifying her first vintage for the Menager-Belland domaine in Santenay. “In my family,” Sophie declares with a smile, “the vines pass from mother to daughter.” Vincent and Sophie Morey treat their vineyards as if they were gardens. ?Fine wines start with good grapes,? they declare in unison.
