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. ‘Les Grèves’ is one of Beaune’s most esteemed Premier Cru sites, and in Caroline’s hands, it becomes a finely chiseled, mineral-driven Chardonnay with remarkable grace and aging potential.
-
WINEMAKER: Caroline Morey
-
FARMING: Organic (uncertified)
-
VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
-
TERROIR: From the Premier Cru ‘Les Grèves’ in Beaune, a gently sloping site with gravelly, well-draining soils over limestone. The vineyard’s name refers to its sandy-gravel texture ("grèves"), which contributes to the wine’s finesse and mineral tension.
-
VINIFICATION: Indigenous yeast fermentation in oak barrels with no bâtonnage. Low-intervention philosophy emphasizing purity and terroir; minimal sulfur added.
-
AGING: Aged for approximately 18 months in mostly used French oak barrels (minimal new oak); bottled without fining or filtration.
-
TASTING NOTES: Elegant and tightly wound, showing aromas of pear skin, lemon zest, crushed stone, and almond blossom. The palate is precise and linear, with saline energy and a long, focused finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Beautiful alongside seared scallops, roast chicken with thyme, or aged goat cheese.
