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.
Taille Pieds
Taille Pieds is a demarcated climat in Volnay, officially approved for the Volnay Premier Cru denomination, and corresponds to the cadastral lieu-dit in section AX. It occupies a pronounced hillside in the upper sector of Volnay, near Clos des Chênes and above Les Caillerets and Les Champans. Its poor, pale, limestone, and very stony soil rests on hard Jurassic limestone dating to the Middle and Upper Oxfordian.

Histoire de la parcelle
The climat is recorded as early as 1507 as "En Taillepied" or "Taille Pied" in the rental survey of the royal estate of Volnay, which notably mentions two ouvrées of vines in this location. The name "Taille Pieds" is now listed in the official specifications of the AOC Volnay among the climats that can accompany the "Premier Cru" designation.
