"The 2018 Santenay Premier Cru Passetemps Rouge is showing well, bursting with aromas of plums, cherries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's bright and lively, with refined tannins and a nicely defined finish. The amplitude and musculature of the vintage are very elegantly rendered."
About The Winery
Sophie and Vincent Morey both come from families of winegrowers in Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet respectively. After studies at Beaune's Lycée Viticole and work experience in St-Emilion in the Bordeaux region, Vincent rejoined the family domaine led by his father Bernard Morey in 1986. In the same year Sophie was vinifying her first vintage for the Ménager-Belland domaine in Santenay where she had inherited the tradition of winemaking from her mother. Finally, in 2006 Sophie and Vincent set up their own domaine and had their first harvest in 2007. Treating their vineyards as if they were gardens, Sophie and Vincent agree that fine wines start with good grapes, require attention to detail, and demand the winegrower and winemaker to be adaptable vintage after vintage.
