This is actually quite aromatically similar to the Chaumées except that it's spicier. The rich medium-bodied flavors also possess fine volume while the abundant dry extract confers a caressing mouthfeel to the mid-palate that contrasts to the youthfully austere, very dry and sneaky long finale. This is clearly constructed for the at least the mid-term and it wouldn't surprise me if it will repay a decade plus of cellaring. Burghound Outstanding!

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Caroline Morey

Caroline Morey comes from a long line of vignerons based in the Cotes de Beaune and is also married to 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.
