Caroline Morey, daughter of Jean-Marc Morey and wife of Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, established her own domaine in 2014 and has rapidly become a premier producer in the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Rouge is sourced from mid-1960s plantings, a reflection of Beaune's mixed tradition and fine-boned structure. The 2023 vintage brings a pulse of ripe red fruit through the core, with firmer tannins than her Chassagne reds and a more grounded profile. This is a wine of focus and depth, shaped by vine age and the stony soils of Grèves. Caroline favors a little whole bunch fermentation (25-40% for reds) and uses mostly 350-liter barrels with no more than 30% new oak for aging red wines for up to 14 months. This Pinot Noir presents a subtle and reserved nose with muted perfume, hints of red berry, and earthy undertones. The palate is focused and layered, offering vivid raspberry and cranberry fruit framed by firm, well-integrated tannins. It culminates in a dry and persistent finish with length, clarity, and a mineral thread. Other notes mention a floral-suffused nose with red cherry, wild currant, and warm earth, leading to sappy, seductively textured flavors with solid punch and a subtle bead of minerality. Some suggest an initially abrupt finish that is expected to age out. Food pairing suggestions: While no specific pairings were found for this vintage, classic Burgundy Pinot Noir pairings include roasted duck, goose, or game birds. Event suggestions: This wine, with its structure and depth, is suitable for cellaring gracefully through the decade ahead. It's an excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner, a special occasion, or a gathering of wine enthusiasts who appreciate elegant, age-worthy Pinot Noir. 【A measured, quietly confident Pinot from one of Beaune's best sites, crafted by a rapidly established premier producer.】
