2023 Domaine Sylvain Morey, Saint-Aubin Blanc, Le Charmois

Domaine Sylvain Morey operates in Saint-Aubin, a village in the Côte de Beaune where Sylvain continues a lineage of winegrowing that spans generations, having established his own domaine in 2014 after splitting his father Jean-Marc’s estate. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Le Charmois vineyard, a premier cru site defined by its clay-limestone soils and eastern exposure. In the glass, it shows bright notes of citrus, pear, and white flowers, balanced by a polished, linear texture and a clear mineral foundation. The 2023 vintage provided an abundant, balanced growing season, resulting in a wine that exhibits both freshness and depth. It is ready to enjoy now but possesses the structural balance to evolve further in the cellar.
