Caroline Morey comes from a long line of vignerons based in the Cotes de Beaune and is also married to Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. In 2014 Caroline has taken her share of some family vineyards from her father Jean-Marc and has created her own domaine based in Chassagne-Montrachet working out of brand new cellars built for Caroline and her husband Pierre-Yves. For Caroline’s first vintage in 2014 she had small holdings in Chassagne-Montrachet for both red and white together with small holdings in Santenay and Hautes Cotes de Beaune totaling just 2.4 hectares. With more vineyards added both from family and from acquisitions in the last few years the total is now 7 hectares for Caroline. Her family holdings were roughly half for red wines and half for white wines, so Caroline has always been very comfortable vinifying red wines and is clearly adept with whites as well. For her own estate her holdings are about 35% Pinot Noir and 65% Chardonnay. Caroline’s approach in the cellar shows a similar light touch as her husband using mostly 350 litre barrels with no more than 30% new and with no battonage for the white wines. For the red wines she adapts to each site and each vintage with no ‘recipe’ as such save to say that Caroline favours a little whole bunch when possible but never more than 50% which she considers too much. Now settled into the new cellars and with 5 vintages released it is clear that Caroline has moved straight into the premier tier of producers in the Cote de Beaune as she has rapidly established her very small and very fine estate. With just a few barrels produced of most wines these will be difficult to come by. Older vines here, planted in the mid-60s, roughly. White varietals are planted in the middle, book-ended by this red.

Product Information: Paul Chavy is the son of the renowned Burgundy vigneron Jean-Louis Chavy. Paul set up a new and prestigious négoce business enabling the family estate to offer a wider range of wines while creating opportunities to work with different terroirs and from Saint Aubin up as far as Gevrey Chambertin. The 2022 Gevrey Chambertin opens with an enticing bouquet red and dark berries, dried herbs, and turned earth. Powerful dark fruits on the palate, vibrant acidity balances the wine, with fine firm tannins in tow. Excellent ageing potential. 100% de-stemmed fruit given a cold maceration for several days before fermentation on skins for 27 days with only a gentle daily pump-over (no hand plunging). Aged on fine lees in barrel, all 228 litre barrels for the red wines, for 12 months before blending back in tank and bottled un-fined after a very light filtration. Maker: The Chavy family has been rooted in Puligny-Montrachet for over 200 years, but it was not until 1986 that Gérard Chavy began to estate-bottle his wines, previously selling them to négociants. Following Gérard's retirement around 2005, the estate was divided into two separate entities managed by his sons, Jean-Louis and Alain Chavy. Jean-Louis Chavy has since developed a state-of-the-art winemaking facility, complete with a temperature-controlled cellar situated at the base of the village. This allows him to work comfortably while ensuring the wines are stored in optimal conditions. His son, Paul Chavy, has been part of the estate since before the pandemic and has embarked on creating his own range of wines, sourcing fruit from regions including Saint-Aubin and as far as Gevrey-Chambertin. The Chavy family continues to uphold a legacy of quality and tradition in their winemaking, offering a tantalising glimpse into the heart of Burgundy. For father and son terroir expression is paramount, with wines crafted in a consistent manner allowing the unique soil and exposure to shine through. Jean-Louis and Paul Chavy’s wines are effortless and unforced, showcasing exceptional fruit purity and a clear expression of terroir in each 1er cru. With his son Paul now working full-time at the estate after completing his winemaking studies, the added support in both the vineyard and cellar translates to even greater precision and clarity in every bottle. These wines embody a classic style, aging and developing gracefully over time. Quantities are always limited, and they sell out quickly upon release. So best to grab them while you can. The Philosophy: Paul Chavy returned to the family estate in 2020, bringing valuable insights from his studies and professional experiences. He has established a prestigious négoce business to expand their range of wines and deepen his understanding of various terroirs, villages, and crus. For the white wines, Paul employs a meticulous vinification process, featuring long, slow pressing in a pneumatic press to preserve the finest lees. The wines age in 350-litre barrels from a variety of cooperages for 11 months, followed by an additional 6 to 7 months in tank before bottling, with only light filtration and fining when necessary. The red wines are crafted with care, using 100% de-stemmed grapes. After a cool maceration of 5-7 days in stainless steel, they undergo 17-22 days of fermentation with gentle pump-overs and no punching down. After 12 months in 228-litre barrels, the wines are blended in stainless steel tanks for another 6-7 months before bottling, without fining and with light filtration. This meticulous approach, combined with Paul’s fresh insights and growing experience across new terroirs, showcases the domaine's versatility while delivering the exceptional wines they are renowned for. Nose - Spicy Notes, Redcurrant, Pure Spicy notes, appealing redcurrant and raspberry leaf on the nose. Good concentration. Palate - Succulent, Red and Berries, New Leather Complete, lengthy, fleshy, a touch lighter than your classic but still with beautifully formed fruit. Finish - Mineral, Fresh, Chalky Tannins So much to enjoy in this village wine. Will age well.

Maker: Nine generations of Muzards precede Claude and Hervé, who today control Domaine Lucien Muzard across 16 ha of vineyards in Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet and Pommard. The family can trace its roots back to 1645, but it was not until the two sons, Claude and Herve took over the domaine from Lucien in 1995 that it began bottling at the estate rather than selling to négociants. Today 85% of the production is red wine but the white wines are gaining in stature with several key premier cru parcels in Santenay being replanted with Chardonnay. Santenay borders Chassagne Montrachet to the north adjoining notable premier cru’s such as Morgeots, Les Embazees and Les Baudines. Clearly there is potential for white wines with much limestone apparent in a complex series of fractured geological faults where the Cote dÓr ends and turns the corner towards Maranges signalling the end of the Cote dÓr slope. Santenay contains a great variety of soil differences and vineyard expositions, the potential of which deserves discovery. Reducing vine yields and adoption of some modern wine-making techniques has resulted in spotlessly pure, great value Burgundy in both colours. They started using small bins for harvesting, a vibrating sorting table and conveyor belts rather than pumps to keep crushing to an absolute minimum as well as acquiring a new temperature controlled fermentation facility with new wooden vats and a new precision controlled press. In 2022 they have made some modifications in white vinification, adding no sulphur until after malolactic. They have purchased some 600 litre barrels for white, along with foudres for red, as bigger formats keep the carbon dioxide better, thus needing less sulphur. Mostly 350 litre barrels otherwise. The Muzards like to crush their white grapes before pressing, then start the fermentation in tank, before sending to barrel. Most whites had been racked to tank just before the new harvest. Bottles of both colours are closed with traditional corks.’ Vineyard: In 2005 they began managing the vineyard organically and ultimately gained certification for biodynamic farming in 2011. Following the incessant rains of spring 2012 however they relinquished this certification and today follow a lutte raisonée, or sustainable farming path drawing on organic and bio-dynamic principals employed in the last 2 decades. Claude and Hervé Muzard, joined in 2019 by Claude's daughter Capucine, now cultivate 20 hectares of vines spread over different climats in Santenay, Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault and Pommard. The estate's overall production is 20% white wine. They continue to plough their rows and shun any use of herbicides or pesticides, let alone chemical fertilisers. In the winery these days, more whole bunches are included, typically about a third, while there are no additions of yeast or enzymes. In tandem with the move to more whole-bunch, the extraction regime has moved away from punch-downs towards a gentler remontage (pump-over) approach, while elevage is moving towards both larger oak and a subtler new-oak influence. Indeed for the first time in vintage 2015, two large foudres were included in the elevage of the Maladière and since then more large foudres from 3500- 5000 litres have been added. The reds are bottled un-fined and with only a coarse filtration as required. As for the 2022 season - after a milder, drier-than-average winter, a mass of cold air from the north caused temperatures to plummet across Burgundy. Fortunately, a large proportion of the vines were still protected at this time, as they were at the "bud in cotton" stage. By mid-April, spring-like conditions had set in and the vines were developing rapidly... A month later, the first flowers are seen in the most advanced sectors! Flowering took place two weeks ahead of average, under hot, dry conditions. Fruit set began a fortnight earlier than average. Berries develop under sunny skies and high temperatures. Just in time as thunderstorms hit the whole of Burgundy from June 21 to 25. The rains brought precious water at a crucial stage for the plant. All in all this was not the earliest starting vintage. Harvesting began on August 31. The harvest was went smoothly. The sorting table was mainly used to remove the few dry berries. All in all, the musts were well-balanced, with controlled degrees and a good level of acidity. In the reds, the qualitative potential of the phenolic compounds is excellent, suggesting a vintage for laying down. For both reds and whites, the musts are highly aromatic and fermentation has started very quickly. Winestyle/Cuvee: Comes from several parcels including from Clos des Hates which is located beside one of Muzards best 1er cru sites, Clos Faubard. From 3ha of vines with an average age of 50+ years, spread over 3 parcels: one in the north near Chassagne, one in the centre near the village and one in the south which borders on to 1er cru Clos Rousseau. Hand-picked and sorted, the fruit is 60% destemmed-but-not-crushed and 40% whole bunches, wild-yeast fermented. Gently plunged for 15-20 days, then pressed to 30% new French oak barriques for 12 months maturation. Total production of this cuvee averages 750 cases per year. Old vine Santenay Rouge for those who love an earthy, plummy style of honest Cotes de Beaune Red Burgundy. Drinks beautifully now with it's meaty, fleshy fruit, but definitely promise for some exciting evolution in the next 3-5 years. Taste: Nose - Wild Plums, Peonies, Orange Zest Unwinding in the glass with complex aromas of wild plums, peonies, orange zest, spices and rose petals Palate - Concentrated, Lively Acid, Structured Mid purple, A greener aspect to the nose, but an extra degree of classy red fruit on the palate. Finish - Firm Tannins, Fruit Driven, Layered Better texture at the finish. Good judgement with the degree of whole bunches. Tannins assert themselves in the youthfully firm finish.
