Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc Chambrées 2023: the precision of a great Burgundian winemaker

The Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc Chambrées 2023 showcases the full talent of Caroline Morey, one of the most respected winemakers on the Côte de Beaune. Based in Chassagne-Montrachet since founding her estate in 2014, she favours rigorous viticulture and minimal intervention during winemaking to preserve the purity of the Chardonnay and the identity of each climat. The Chambrées cuvée is produced in very limited quantities from a micro-plot situated on clay-limestone soils that are particularly conducive to the expression of the grape variety.

The colour is a lovely pale yellow with golden highlights. The nose reveals a refined aromatic palette blending lemon, grapefruit, pear, crisp apple, white flowers and a subtle hint of fresh hazelnut. Upon aeration, notes of flint, fresh butter and delicate spices emerge, reflecting the wine’s complexity. On the palate, the attack is lively and precise. The texture is full-bodied whilst retaining remarkable mineral tension. Flavours of citrus, white fruit and chalk linger on a long, briny and elegant finish.

Served between 11 and 13 °C, this Chassagne-Montrachet is the perfect accompaniment to scallops, lobsters, fish in sauce, Bresse poultry in cream sauce, mushroom risottos or mature cheeses. Thanks to its balance and structure, it has an ageing potential of 8 to 12 years, during which time it will develop more complex aromas of honey, dried fruit and brioche. This cuvée will appeal to connoisseurs of great Burgundian Chardonnays seeking finesse, precision and depth.
