2022 Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 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....
Like the Champ Gains, the expressive nose is markedly floral in character with additional notes of essence of pear, rosemary oil and citrus confit in evidence. The rich, caressing, seductive and beautifully textured middleweight flavors possess fine length and balance while offering just a bit more depth. Once again, this is worth your interest. Drink through 2029+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
Made from 50-60 year old vines, small bunches, small leaves, hardly need to trim them. Millerand throughout. A clear pale colour, with a significant concentration of white fruit on the palate. Not the most demonstrative but there is good intensity, juicy and good acidity too, but above all there is this intensity of white fruit. Do not be in a hurry for this. Drink from 2027-2035.
