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....
Cool and airy aromas are comprised by notes of green apple, lemon zest and a touch of rosemary oil. There is fine volume to the medium-bodied flavors that are at once caressing yet punchy, all wrapped in a lingering and delicious finish that would also benefit from developing slightly better depth. Drink through 2027+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

From three lieux-dits, the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Chambrées has a tightly-wound bouquet with red apple, lime and crushed stone. The palate is quite intense and weighty in the mouth, rounded like a Meursault yet counterbalanced by a keen line of acidity that maintains focus on the finish. I can imagine this being approachable in its youth. Drink 2024-2032.

Neal Martin - Vinous

Pale lemon and lime. A slightly smudged nose, showing a little barrel. White fruit with a fresh mineral finish, a little lime juice, and some length. Drink from 2024-2027.
