Caroline Morey Chassagne Montrachet Les Chaumées Blanc 1er Cru – 2022

Caroline is the wife of top winemaker Pierre Yves Colin Morey and is now making her own impressive range of wines at their joint winery. Her wines have a little less oak and, dare I say it, even more minerality than Pierre Yves’! This Chassagne Montrachet is zesty, vibrant, mineral and fresh with a long finish. Very impressive!

“From vines planted in the 1950’s located quite high on the slope at the northern end near Puligny. Lots of limestone in this vineyard and it shows with super fine aromatics and palate staining intensity of orchard fruits backed by a great line of acidity. Very long, very impressive. Near Philippe Colin’s vines, near the quarry. Older vines with millerandes.
More lemon than lime in colour. The nose is a little lighter than Les Vergers, but with refinement. This is very stylish on the palate with an excellent intensity of fresh white orchard fruit with a little sucrosity. The sunshine has been well harnessed. Delicious and perfectly balanced. Drink from 2027-2034.”
