The 2022 Caroline Morey Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a highly anticipated white Burgundy, showcasing the elegance and tension characteristic of this esteemed appellation. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is proving to be excellent, offering good maturity with particularly aromatic white wines. Caroline Morey, known for crafting elegant wines with distinct character, produces this Grand Cru from old-vine plots, employing indigenous yeasts and aging in larger barrels (350L) without batonnage. Neal Martin of Vinous describes the 2022 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet as having a vivid and mineral-driven bouquet with attractive green apple and pear scents. On the palate, it exhibits a superb acidic bite, considerable tension, and an energetic, beautifully persistent finish, with a strong texture and excellent fruit-acid balance. Expect complex notes of white fruit, vanilla, almond, and grilled bread, with hints of preserved and ripe fruit on a very long finish. 【This wine is noted for its intensity that creeps up on you at the back of the palate, tasting beautiful even at this early stage with plenty in reserve.】 🍴 Food Pairing: This powerful and rich white Burgundy is a superb match for equally rich and complex dishes. Consider pairing it with lobster in butter sauce, roasted chicken or turkey, creamy truffle pasta, or pan-seared scallops. For an Asian twist, it would complement steamed fish with ginger and spring onion, or a rich seafood curry. 🥂 Fit for Event: An exceptional wine for celebratory occasions, high-end gastronomic experiences, or as a centerpiece for a serious wine tasting. Its aging potential of 10 to 25 years makes it a fantastic addition to a cellar, suitable for future milestones or a luxurious gift.
