Histoire du domaine
The Morey family’s origins in Burgundy date back to the 16th century, and their presence in Meursault has been documented since 1793. In 1935, Auguste Morey, father of Pierre Morey, became a sharecropper on the Comtes Lafon estate in Meursault. When he took over at the end of 1971, Pierre Morey gradually assumed his father’s leasehold rights and in turn became a sharecropper for the Lafon, Poirier and Morey families. In 1984, the Lafon family decided to take back their plots for direct cultivation; the gradual withdrawal from these vineyards was completed in 1991. At the same time, Pierre Morey served as estate manager at Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet from 1988 to July 2008, where he oversaw the technical aspects of the vineyards and cellars. He began cultivating his own vineyards according to the principles of organic farming in 1991, before the estate was fully converted to biodynamic farming at the end of 1997. His daughter Anne then joined the business and became co-manager. The Morey-Blanc wine-trading and ageing company was established in 1992 to complement the estate’s range following the loss of certain sharecropping contracts; it vinifies and ages purchased grapes or musts. Jean-Victor Morey joined the estate full-time during the 2020 harvest. Since 31 December 2025, Anne Morey has been the sole manager of SCEA Domaine Pierre Morey.

The sector forms a stony and well-drained hillside, mainly facing south-east, below the ruins of the old château.
