2021 Caroline Morey Beaune Les Greves Blanc Premier Cru

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.

Other Reviews....
Here there is sufficient reduction present to mask everything but a hint of citrus character. There is slightly better volume to the markedly intense and well-detailed medium weight flavors that also conclude in a bone-dry, youthfully austere and chiseled finish that is just a bit finer. Drink through 2027+.

The 2021 Beaune Blanc Grèves 1er Cru has an understated nose, backward and just thinking of what to say at the moment because here the malo was particularly tardy. The palate is more expressive with citrus lemon and lime, orange rind and light peach notes on the finish. Fine. Drink 2024-2033.

Just one barrel made, malolactic done. Clear pale colour. A reductive quality, though with finesse. I like the balance of this though I still wonder why it was planted to chardonnay. Very nicely persistent, with some nuance of fresh citrus. Drink from 2024-2028.
