2023 Sylvain Morey, Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc, 1er Cru Les Champs Gains

Sylvain Morey maintains a multi-generational presence in Chassagne-Montrachet, operating an estate that has been rooted in the village since the 17th century. This 1er Cru Les Champs Gains is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in clay-limestone soils, sourced from vines originally planted in 1952. In the glass, the wine shows a focused profile of gunflint and smoke alongside bright citrus tones, defined by a firm, persistent structure. The 2023 vintage provided excellent balance, offering a natural freshness that keeps the wine vibrant and precise. This is a well-integrated bottle that is ready to enjoy now but possesses the acidity and depth to evolve in the cellar.
