Caroline Morey Beaune 1er Cru Greves Blanc 2022

Description

Product Description:Premier Cru precision from the limestone core of Beaune. Caroline Morey’s 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Greves Blanc is a compelling study in tension and finesse. Sourced from Chardonnay vines planted in 1999 at mid-slope—where ripening comes early—this is one of the first parcels picked each vintage, and it shows in the wine’s focus and lift. The vineyard sits in the central stretch of Greves, where Caroline shares long 400–500 metre rows with cousin Thomas Morey. The wine opens with a perfumed nose before revealing white stone fruits and an energetic line of acidity. A delicate tangerine note flickers at the edge, hinting at its future complexity.
