Domaine Sylvain Morey, Coteaux Bourguignons, 2023

Domaine Sylvain Morey’s Coteaux Bourguignons 2023 is a playful, irresistibly drinkable expression of Gamay from the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet. Morey’s signature style brings together silkiness, freshness, and vibrant fruit, making this a wine that feels both effortlessly charming and distinctly Burgundian. The choice to work with Gamay here speaks to both terroir insight and a genuine love of crafting wines that overdeliver on pleasure.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine is bright and inviting, with a vivid, fruit-forward profile that immediately sets the tone. Expect a graceful mix of dark and red forest berries, lifted by fresh acidity and a soft, polished texture that makes each sip feel smooth and seamless. The nose is fragrant and lively, offering juicy berry aromas with a subtle earthy edge and a hint of the elegance that defines Sylvain Morey’s wines. On the palate, it is supple, silky, and highly drinkable, with enough freshness to keep it energetic. While already delicious in youth, it should hold nicely over the next few years as the fruit integrates and the wine gains a little more complexity.

Production
This cuvée comes from a single parcel of Gamay in Chassagne-Montrachet, where the limestone-rich Burgundian terroir lends clarity and finesse to the fruit. The grapes are hand-harvested and fully destemmed before undergoing spontaneous fermentation, allowing the vineyard character to come through naturally. The wine is then aged for 18 months in used 350-liter demi-muids, a gentle élevage that supports texture and balance without overpowering the grape’s fresh, juicy profile.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine at 12–14°C, ideally with roast pork, chicken, guinea fowl, or other lighter poultry dishes. It also works beautifully with charcuterie, mushroom-based dishes, and simple rustic fare. Decanting is not necessary, but a short aeration can help open the wine if it is served very young.
