“I worked my first harvests in the Willamette Valley during sommelier training in 2009 and 2010. I traveled in 2011 for harvests in Central Otago and the Santa Cruz Mountains before returning to the Willamette Valley for a third harvest in one year. In 2012, I worked harvest in Meursault at Domaine de Montille. I returned to Meursault in the fall of 2013, to focus on Chardonnay at Domaine de Montille, and I discovered a blueprint for my life’s great work: Willamette Valley Chardonnay.

I began sourcing Willamette Valley chardonnay from farmers in 2014. At the winery, I do all of the work myself. I attend to every detail in order to create Willamette Valley Chardonnays that are liquid almanacs of grape, time and place. Sincerity and reverence guide me. Each fall, I begin again, grateful for the harvest. Each winter, I attend to the wines. Each spring, I bottle. Each summer, I host. Morgen Long is named after my family. ”
