Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

The Morey’s bought their parcel of the Volnay 1er Cru Santenots in 2003. After thirteen years of some T.L.C. from Pierre et Anne Morey, we get to benefit from this hearty and lovely, classically-styled, vitality-rich Volnay premier cru from a vintage that’s impossible to not adore for those with hearts that beat for Burgundy wines.

It’s simply a substantial and noteworthy Volnay Santenots, hailing from a vintage that serves wines of this level of structure and depth well as much for early drinking as later. 

Pierre Morey is a living legend in Burgundy. He was the winemaker and vineyard manager for Domaine Leflaive starting in 1988 and ending in 2008. During his time, he converted both Domaine Leflaive and his own estate vineyards to biodynamic farming and winemaking. He is responsible for producing some of the greatest white wines in the history of Burgundy.

Visiting Pierre is like visiting a philosopher. He is gentle, thoughtful and in the moment. Even after spending a long lifetime in Burgundy, he speaks of his vineyards and mystery of wine with reverence. He works closely with his daughter, Anne, as she has been groomed to take over the estate operations. Just like her father, she is quiet but when you get her going, she exudes a deep passion and an inviting energy.
