Caroline Morey, Chassagne-Montrachet Chambrees 2022

Caroline Morey has been running her own estate in Chassagne-Montrachet since 2014, in addition to her work at the family business Domaine Jean-Marc Morey. The lieu-dit Chambrees is located on the slopes towards Saint-Aubin. Calcareous soils that produce white Burgundy with tension and precision.

What you smell
Lemon peel, white peach, and a hint of toasted bread. Beneath that, something floral, reminiscent of acacia.

What you taste
Silky smooth texture with a taut acidity that gives the wine direction and length. The fruit is juicy but restrained. The finish lingers with a salty, stony undertone. Already approachable, but can age for another five to eight years.

How it's made
100% Chardonnay, hand-harvested. Matured in oak barrels, about 25% of which are new. This proportion gives subtle toast aromas without overpowering the fruit.

Serving
Between 10°C and 12°C. Large, tulip-shaped glasses allow the aromas to develop. Decanting is not necessary, but allow it to warm up slightly if it's just out of the fridge.

Pairs well with

  • Pan-fried sole with lemon butter: the rich texture of the fish and butter finds balance in the wine's freshness.
  • Wild mushroom risotto: the creaminess matches the silky mouthfeel, the earthy mushrooms complement the subtle toasty notes.
  • Young Comté: the nutty cheese enhances the fruit without overshadowing its finesse.

Scores

  • Jasper Morris: 88-90/100
  • Burghound: 89-91/100

Bourgogne is de streek die het idee van terroir heeft uitgevonden: het geloof dat een wijngaard van een paar honderd meter verderop al een andere wijn oplevert. Met slechts twee hoofddruiven, Pinot Noir en Chardonnay, ligt hier de nadruk volledig op de plek in plaats van op de druif.
