Description

Caroline Morey Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Blanc 2023: a great Burgundy wine combining finesse and depth

The Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Blanc 2023 embodies Caroline Morey’s entire philosophy: to produce Chardonnays of great purity, where the identity of the terroir takes precedence over the ageing process. Situated on one of Beaune’s most renowned climats, the vineyard benefits from perfectly well-drained soil composed of gravel and limestone, ideal for producing wines that are both powerful and finely crafted. Thanks to meticulous viticulture and minimal intervention during winemaking, this cuvée fully expresses the personality of the 2023 vintage.

The bouquet blends notes of candied lemon, Williams pear, crisp apple, white flowers and vine peach. With aeration, nuances of toasted hazelnut, fresh butter, brioche and a delicate minerality reminiscent of damp stone emerge. On the palate, the wine impresses with its balance between richness and tension. The texture is full-bodied, elegant and perfectly supported by precise acidity that lends length and freshness. The finish, salty and lingering, leaves a remarkable sensation of purity.

This great Chardonnay is the perfect accompaniment to shellfish, fine fish, poultry in cream sauce, mushroom risottos, Burgundy cheeses or gourmet dishes featuring truffles. Enjoyable in its youth after a little aeration, it will gain in complexity after several years of cellaring. The Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Blanc 2023 confirms Caroline Morey’s talent and stands out as a benchmark amongst the great white wines of the Côte de Beaune.
