Thomas's wines are very different to Vincent's - the latter's are, like their father's, plump and attractive; Thomas's are lean, chiselled and more austere (not a pejorative) and are accordingly popular in Japan, Scandinavia and Germany. He uses very little new oak - never more than 15%. Vide Bourse is a small, stony enclave of 1er cru that has a slightly higher elevation than the neighbouring Encegnieres and is just below Batard.
There's a little touch of reduction and plenty of vivacity - it's energetic, linear and very refreshing. Would be a lovely food wine but lacks joie de vivre on its own. A touch of stone fruit coming through on the finish with air. There's an interesting tension here between the intensity of the flavour and the acidity that is reminiscent of GG Riesling.

Outrageously good. A Baby Batard in every sense. Complex, rich and powerful with sappy white peach and citrus fruits mixing it up with aniseed spice. It is so deep and long with exceptional balance and extremely long, chewy finish.

Has some smoky mineral reduction along with powerful, sappy orchard fruits. It is a white of presence and muscle and possesses serious tang to the finish. Should be brilliant with time.

Chassagne-Montrachet under the microscope with Jasper Morris MW (Zoom!): Thomas Morey is the son of Bernard Morey and brother of Vincent - one of around 8 Morey domaines in Chassagne.
