Caroline Morey Santenay Les Cornieres Blanc 2022

Description

Product Description:Chardonnay finds its voice in Santenay’s limestone slopes. Caroline Morey continues to define modern white Burgundy with this poised and quietly expressive Les Cornieres Blanc. Drawn from a site just below Santenay Le Haut—near the esteemed 1er Cru Maladieres—this 2022 release captures the stony tension and fine fruit that’s earning Chardonnay a renewed place in the appellation. There’s a touch of reduction on the nose, a marker of the site, that gives way to ripe orchard fruit—peach, pear, even a whisper of the exotic. It’s elegant, measured, and absolutely unforced, true to the vineyard’s limestone-rich soils. This is white Burgundy that doesn’t shout, but rewards attention. Tasting NotesNOSE– Subtle and stonyLightly reductive with orchard fruit and a hint of citrus zest. PALATE– Textured finesseRipe peach and pear glide across a mineral frame, edged with bright acidity. FINISH– Clean and liftedFresh and slightly saline, with a gentle persistence. Reviews & AccoladesThe bouquet is quite elegant with a little generosity of fruit behind. This is perfectly balanced, not trying to be what it isn’t, with a lovely energy of fruit behind… – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 91 Points (2024) The Finer Details Style – White Wine Varietal – Chardonnay Country – France Region – Burgundy Vintage – 2022 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13%
