2021 Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru

This Premier Cru comes almost entirely from the Champs Gain and Vergers plots and shows the refined side of Chassagne in the cooler year of 2021.

Vineyard and origin

Champs Gain and Vergers are located higher up the slopes and are known for their fresh acidity and mineral precision. In 2021, a year with more tension and lower yields, the terroir characteristics were particularly evident.

The 2021 vintage

2021 was a classic, cooler year in Burgundy. The wines are less powerful than in warmer years, but display clarity, focus, and finesse. This results in wines with pronounced acidity, distinct citrus nuances, and a tight profile.

Color, smell and taste

Pale golden yellow with a bright sheen. The nose is pure and precise, with aromas of orchard fruit and subtle citrus. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine structure, combining notes of apple, pear, bitter lemon, and orange peel. The acidity adds tension and length. The finish is lingering and persuasive, with a fresh, slightly mineral note.

Structure and storage potential

The combination of fresh acidity, concentration, and subtle wood influence gives this Premier Cru ageing potential until around 2040. It will be available from 2025 but will develop additional complexity and depth with further bottle aging.
