      Located just below Santenay Le Haut not far from 1er cru Maladieres. In the Santenay vineyard it is very clear how much limestone terroir peaks through and so it's no surprise growers are flocking to the region to plant Chardonnay in these sites once again. This wine shows very fine ripe orchard fruits even showing a touch exotic. The palate is well balanced with a precise level of acidity, the power from its clay soils driving the finish along.

      The Morey family name is one of the more infamous in Burgundy, with a long and expansive history. Caroline Morey is the daughter of the well-known Jean-Marc Morey, and started her own domaine after Jean-Marc's retirement in 2014. She is also married to Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. Stylistically one major difference compared to PYCM is that she uses slightly less new oak, around 20-25% instead of 30-35%, not to mention half-a-dozen reds.

      Pale lemon and lime. The bouquet is quite elegant with a little generosity of fruit behind. This is perfectly balanced, not trying to be what it isn’t, with a lovely energy of fruit behind. There is a light reductive nose which Mathis finds typical of this vineyard. Drink from 2025-2028.

      Caroline Morey

      Since Jean-Marc's retirement in 2014, Caroline has taken her share of some family vineyards from her father Jean-Marc and has created her own domaine based in Chassagne-Montrachet working out of brand new cellars built for Caroline and her husband Pierre-Yves.

      For Caroline’s 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 from acquisitions in the last few years the total is now 7 hectares for Caroline. Her family holdings were roughly half for red wines and half for white wines, so Caroline has always been very comfortable vinifying red wines and is clearly adept with whites as well. For her own estate her holdings are about 35% Pinot Noir and 65% Chardonnay.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Lemon Scented, Apple Blossom, White Peach

      Attractive bouquet with apple blossom, hints of apricot and white peach that gains intensity with aeration.

      PALATE
      White Peach, Apricot, Intense

      The palate is well balanced with a precise level of acidity, the power from its clay soils driving the finish along.

      FINISH
      Austere, Rustic, Toast

      Youthfully austere and lingering finish where a touch of rusticity slowly emerges.
