2020 Caroline Morey Beaune Les Greves Blanc Premier Cru
Caroline Morey comes from a long line of vignerons based in the Cotes de Beaune and is also married to Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. In 2014 Caroline took her share of some family vineyards from her father Jean-Marc and created her own domaine based in Chassagne-Montrachet, working out of brand new cellars built for Caroline and her husband.
For her first vintage in 2014 she had small holdings in Chassagne-Montrachet for both red and white together with small holdings in Santenay and Hautes Cotes de Beaune totaling just 2.4 hectares. With more vineyards added both from family and acquisitions in the last few years, the total is now 7 hectares in total for Caroline with roughly half for red and half for whites.
Other Reviews....
Fresh, cool and restrained aromas of various white orchard fruit, lemon-lime and a whiff of carnations precede succulent, round and delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of punch on the borderline tannic, clean and dry finale. Though not especially structured, this will need at least a few years of cellaring to round out. Drink through 2025+.

Planted 1999. Pretty pale yellow with an agreeable floral nose, almost daffodil, a little astringency, attractive wine though the fruit doesn’t quite fill out the middle.
