2022 Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Chambrees
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 and bright aromas of rosemary oil, Granny Smith apple, petrol and a hint of pear are complemented by sleek, delicious and solidly punchy medium weight flavors that display fine length on the balanced finale. This could use better depth but a few years of keeping should successfully address that. Recommended. Drink through 2027+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
The usual blend of Bergerie, Masures, Chênes though the last is now pulled out (161/49 rootstock). Pale colour and a little bit of spice. A little bit of ripe fruit up front, then quite a fierce acidity behind. Not quite in place today perhaps. Drink from 2025-2028.
