Caroline Morey, daughter of legendary vigneron Jean-Marc Morey and wife of Pierre-Yves Colin, has carved out her own identity as a rising star in Burgundy. Working from a small cellar in Chassagne-Montrachet, she produces whites of striking purity and restraint, with a strong focus on organic farming and traditional, low-intervention winemaking. Her wines emphasize finesse and terroir expression, and the ‘Chambrées’ bottling is a vivid example of her elegant, terroir-transparent style.
-
WINEMAKER: Caroline Morey
-
FARMING: Organic (uncertified)
-
VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
-
TERROIR: From parcels in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet, planted on classic clay-limestone soils. The terroir is known for producing structured yet mineral-driven Chardonnay with both richness and lift.
-
VINIFICATION: Native yeast fermentation in oak barrels with no bâtonnage. Low-intervention methods used to highlight site expression; minimal sulfur.
-
AGING: Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (minimal new oak), then bottled without fining or filtration.
-
TASTING NOTES: Layered and poised, with aromas of lemon peel, wet stone, white flowers, and toasted hazelnut. The palate is vibrant and textured, showing both weight and precision, with a long, mineral finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Excellent with roasted shellfish, creamy vegetable dishes, or poultry with a white wine reduction.
