Caroline Morey

Caroline Morey is based in Chassagne-Montrachet and represents the latest generation of a family with a long history of winegrowing in the village. She is the daughter of Jean-Marc Morey and established her own domaine following his retirement, receiving part of the family vineyards. Her first vintage under her own name was 2014. Together with her husband, Pierre-Yves Colin, she works from their winery in Chassagne-Montrachet while maintaining a separate range and identity for her own domaine.

The domaine is small, with holdings concentrated primarily in Chassagne-Montrachet. Caroline works several important Premier Cru vineyards, including Les Caillerets, Les Chaumées and Les Champs Gain, alongside village-level Chassagne-Montrachet and regional wines. Production is predominantly Chardonnay, although small quantities of Pinot Noir are also made from family parcels.

In the cellar, the approach is precise and deliberately restrained. The white wines are fermented and aged in oak, with limited new wood and an emphasis on longer, measured élevage. Bâtonnage is kept to a minimum, helping preserve freshness and tension rather than adding richness or weight. The objective is a clear expression of each vineyard, supported rather than shaped by the winemaking.

Caroline Morey’s wines combine the depth and texture of Chassagne-Montrachet with freshness, minerality and considerable precision. Production is small and the wines have become increasingly sought after, particularly the Premier Crus. While not belonging to the extreme collector category of Bourgogne’s rarest domaines, Caroline Morey is firmly established among the leading names of the current generation in Chassagne-Montrachet.
