Caroline Morey Chassagne Montrachet 'Chambrees' 2017
Pungent aromas of sulfur and matchstick mask the underlying fruit at present. Otherwise there is good richness to the round and caressing flavors that possess a juicy palate impression before concluding in a solidly complex and persistent finish that is just a bit more tightly wound. 88-91 points. Drink now - 2023+ – Burghound.
Caroline Morey, who is the wife and winemaking partner of Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey (director of Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey) and the daughter of Jean-Marc Morey, has founded her own domaine. She also had the opportunity to take over another Santenay-based domaine that, among other holdings, has a parcel of Criots-Bâtard, which will make for a lovely duo when her father's parcel of Bâtard joins the fold for the 2018 vintage. In round numbers, she now will be farming 7 ha. Morey noted that her 2017 reds were bottled in August 2018.
