Domaine Sylvain Morey, Chassagne-Montrachet 1. Cru Caillerets Blanc, 2023

Domaine Sylvain Morey’s Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets Blanc 2023 is a precise and expressive Chardonnay from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most admired premier cru sites. Caillerets is known for producing wines of impressive finesse and minerality, and in this hands of Sylvain Morey it offers a refined take on classic white Burgundy with notable pedigree.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a luminous pale gold color with a bright, polished sheen. The nose typically opens with white flowers, citrus peel, ripe pear, and subtle stone fruit, layered with flinty mineral tones, light spice, and a touch of toasted hazelnut as it develops. On the palate, the wine should feel elegant and focused, combining tension with a generous but controlled texture. Crisp acidity drives flavors of lemon, green apple, orchard fruit, and chalky minerality, while the finish is long, refined, and deeply savory. With its balance of concentration and freshness, this is a Chardonnay with excellent aging potential and the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 8–15 years.

Production
The Caillerets climat in Chassagne-Montrachet is prized for its stony, well-drained soils that help create wines of definition, salinity, and depth. Chardonnay grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve fruit quality, then vinified with careful, low-intervention methods that respect the character of the vineyard. Fermentation and élevage in oak are used judiciously to add texture and complexity without overshadowing the site’s natural precision.

Food & Serving
This premier cru pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, roast chicken with cream sauce, turbot, and fine poultry dishes with mushrooms or truffle. It is best served slightly cool, around 10–12°C, and may benefit from brief decanting in its youth to open up the aromatics and soften the wine’s structure.
