2022 Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 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 fresh, cool and very pretty nose reveals only a hint of exotic character on the aromas of white peach, orange peel and anise. Once again the palate impression of the medium-bodied flavors is rich, generous and seductive but with more evident minerality that adds a sense of lift to the nicely dry bitter lemon-inflected finale. Drink through 2029+.

Caroline Morey’s rows run from top to bottom of the Caillerets slope. A light green tint, fresh and enticing. Precision rather than strictness, with energy but there is a wealth of quality white fruit, with some floral aspects too, lingering nicely on the palate. Racy but ripe apples spread out at the finish. Drink from 2027-2036.
