Why choose Caroline Morey Chassagne Montrachet?

The name Caroline Morey is gradually establishing itself among the essential references of Burgundy. Through the cuvée Chambrées, the winemaker delivers a wine that is both accessible in its youth and capable of evolving gracefully over the years.

This bottle attracts lovers of great white wines for several reasons:

• A precise expression of the Chassagne-Montrachet terroir
• An elegant vinification without excessive woodiness

The house's style favors the purity of fruit and the clarity of the terroirs. Here, the Chardonnay expresses itself with great clarity, supported by a mineral freshness that gives the wine its depth.

The identity of the Chambrées terroir

The Chambrées parcel benefits from an environment particularly favorable to the flourishing of Chardonnay. The typical clay-limestone soils of the appellation offer the wine an elegant mineral framework, a signature of the great whites of the Côte de Beaune.

On tasting, this Chassagne-Montrachet stands out for its aromatic complexity. The nose opens with notes of ripe citrus, white flowers, and yellow-fleshed fruits. With aeration, more delicate nuances of fresh hazelnut, fine butter, and sometimes a slightly smoky touch emerge.

The palate impresses with its precision. The attack remains lively, then the wine gains in breadth while maintaining beautiful tension. The long, saline finish prolongs the pleasure with great elegance.
