2021 Caroline Morey Santenay

Caroline Morey comes from a long line of vignerons based in the Cotes de Beaune and is also married to the increasingly famous, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. In 2014 Caroline took her share of some family vineyards from her father Jean-Marc and created her own domaine based in Chassagne-Montrachet, working out of brand new cellars built for Caroline and her husband.

For her 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 acquisitions in the last few years, the total is now 7 hectares in total for Caroline with roughly half for red and half for whites. 

From vines located in the lieu-dit of Le Chainey in the southern sector of Santenay quite high on the slope adjoining 1er Cru Grand Clos Rousseau. The wine is aged in 30% new barrels. This shows fine bright sour cherry aromatics with super fine tannins and striking finesse and wonderfully fresh crunchy fruit. So attractive now.
