Caroline Morey Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Blanc 2023 is a finely detailed and mineral-driven Chardonnay that highlights the rare white wine expression of one of Beaune’s most historic Premier Cru vineyards. Les Grèves is predominantly known for red wines, yet its limestone and gravel-rich soils can also produce remarkably energetic and elegant Chardonnay when planted in the right parcels. Caroline Morey, one of the Côte de Beaune’s most respected modern vignerons, crafts this wine with a restrained and thoughtful approach that prioritises precision, freshness and terroir transparency. Since establishing her domaine in 2014, she has gained recognition for producing wines of exceptional purity and balance, combining classical Burgundy structure with contemporary finesse. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe yet vibrant fruit, allowing the wine to retain both concentration and tension.
In the glass, the wine shows impressive energy and clarity, balancing citrus and white orchard fruits with delicate floral lift and saline minerality. Carefully judged oak maturation provides texture and subtle depth without overwhelming the wine’s freshness or site expression. Notes of lemon zest, white peach and tangerine unfold across the palate alongside hints of crushed stone, toasted almond and gentle reduction. There is a quiet concentration beneath the wine’s elegant frame, supported by bright acidity and persistent mineral drive. The finish is long, precise and refreshing, carrying layers of citrus and stony complexity. Sophisticated and versatile, this Premier Cru Chardonnay pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, roast poultry or creamy seafood dishes, while also rewarding careful cellaring over the medium term.
