2022 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....
A suggestion of the exotic is present on the aromas of white peach, dried orange peel and moderate wood-scented nose. There is good intensity to the utterly delicious middleweight flavors that culminate in a clean, dry, youthfully austere finish that displays fine length. This well-made effort should drink well early or with mid-term cellaring of 5 to 7 years. Drink through 2027+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The chardonnay vines are at mid slope, which ripens early so the white Beaune Grèves has to be picked among the very first. Attractively perfumed, yet with quite a dainty touch on the palate, with an energy that emerges at the back, after the white fruit flesh, now followed by some tangerine notes. Enough acidity, though in style a wine which will come forward quite quickly. Drink from 2026-2032.
