Description

The 2022 Santenay Rouge from Caroline Morey is a beautifully crafted Pinot Noir that highlights the finesse and purity of this lesser-known appellation. Sourced from the high-altitude Le Chainey site, located near the 1er Cru Grand Clos Rousseau, this wine benefits from a cool microclimate that allows the fruit to ripen slowly, developing fine aromatics and structure. On the nose, you’ll find vibrant aromas of sour cherries, red currants, and a floral hint of rose petal, underscored by a touch of fresh herbs.

On the palate, the wine is light and graceful, with delicate red fruit flavours—think wild strawberries and raspberries—held together by soft, finely woven tannins. There’s a lovely energy to this wine, with bright acidity giving the fruit clarity and precision. The finish is long and subtle, with a gentle minerality and just a touch of earthiness that add depth without weighing down the wine’s fresh character.

This Santenay Rouge is a perfect example of the elegance that Caroline Morey brings to her reds, offering immediate drinkability while also having the potential to age. Best enjoyed from 2026 to 2030, this is a wine that will shine both on its own and with food.

From vines located in the lieu-dit of Le Chainey in the southern sector of Santenay quite high on the slope adjoining 1er Cru Grand Clos Rousseau. The wine is aged in 30% new barrels. This shows fine bright sour cherry aromatics with super fine tannins and striking finesse and wonderfully fresh crunchy fruit. So attractive now.

Pierre-Yves is the eldest son of the Marc Colin, where he worked until 2005 - he established his own negociant business and domaine from family vineyards he inherited. His star has been rising ever since, making electric wines from parcels across Saint Aubin, Puligny, Meursault, Corton and his home commune of Chassagne.

The wines are pure and driven, with no batonnage (lees-stirring), only natural yeasts, and no fining or filtering. The corks are extra-long and bottles wax-sealed to avoid any possibility of premature oxidation. He builds white wines for the long haul.
