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.
Bâtard-Montrachet (Puligny Montrachet)
Bâtard-Montrachet is both a Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated climat, shared between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. It occupies the lower part of the slope, exposed mainly to the east and south-east, at around 240 to 250 metres of altitude. Its brown limestone soils are thicker and more clayey towards the foothill, with clay colluvium relatively poor in stones. The substrate consists mainly of platy limestones from the Middle Jurassic, attributed to the Callovian.

Histoire de la parcelle
The "Bâtard" climat was already distinguished from Montrachet in the 18th century, although its wines were long assimilated with those of Montrachet. A 1921 judgment consecrated the use of the name "Bâtard-Montrachet" and the local hierarchy of grand crus. The AOC was recognized by the decree of 31 July 1937; its plot area was initially demarcated in 1939, then approved by the INAO in 1988 for Chassagne-Montrachet and in 1989 for Puligny-Montrachet.
