Domaine Vincent and Sophie Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Caillerets 2021 France

GW says: 2021 was a tough year in Burgundy, but Vincent & Sophie Morey’s Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets rises to the challenge with laser precision and mineral finesse. This is Chardonnay on a high-wire: tense, pure, and utterly compelling.

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay from the prized Caillerets climat

Appearance: Pale lemon-gold with youthful green glints, bright and crystalline.

Aroma: Citrus zest, white flowers, crushed oyster shell, and a flick of struck flint.

Palate: Taut and mineral with searing acidity, lemon curd, green apple, and subtle oak spice.
