Description

Grèves is one of Beaune’s most respected premiers crus, and in 2023 Caroline Morey has made a wine that feels both grounded in the vineyard and lifted by the freshness of the vintage. The site’s mix of sandy, gravelly soils usually gives Pinot of perfume and energy, and that’s very much on show here – a finely structured red that has detail and drive without being heavy or overworked.

Caroline’s approach is as ever measured and thoughtful, favouring gentle handling of the fruit and oak that sits in the background rather than the foreground. The 2023 growing season, with its combination of ripeness and lively acidity, gave her the building blocks to make a wine that will drink beautifully in its youth but also carry on for years.

Production is small, as with all of Caroline’s cuvées, and bottles rarely last long on the market. For those chasing Burgundy that marries precision with quiet power, this is a release to move on quickly.

Inside Burgundy 93 Points

Another palish crimson. Much less perfume than the Chassagne Champgains. A little more depth of vivid raspberry through the middle, firmer tannins and fair length. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Oct 2024. (90-93)

Importer's Notes:

Older vines here, planted in the mid-60s, roughly. White planted in the middle, book-ended by this red.
