CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Burghound - "Bernard Morey's sons have each taken their respective shares of his domaine. Vincent married the daughter of a vigneron from Santenay, which explains the large holdings from that commune - together he now exploits approximately 20 ha, which is a substantial amount compared to the average holdings in the Côte d'Or today."
