2023 Sylvain Morey, Chassagne-Montrachet, 1er Cru En Caillerets

Sylvain Morey manages this estate in Chassagne-Montrachet, building on a deep family history in the village that dates back to the 17th century. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the stony, limestone-rich soils of the 1er Cru Cailleret vineyard, where some vines date back to the early 1950s. On the palate, it delivers a precise tension marked by notes of white orchard fruit and a distinct, flinty minerality that defines this site. The 2023 vintage provided a balanced growing season with enough acidity to support the wine's natural concentration and fine, structured finish. It is an excellent selection for those looking for a wine with significant aging potential, though its inherent balance makes it a compelling choice to explore now.
