Vintage Character The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, dry growing season, which produced wines with ripe fruit, vivid aromatics, and supple tannins. Caroline Morey Beaune 1er Cru Greves Rouge 2022 exemplifies the pedigree of its esteemed Premier Cru terroir, Greves, renowned for its gravelly, well-drained soils that impart finesse and mineral depth.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Pinot Noir opens with expressive aromas of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a delicate hint of rose petal, complemented by subtle earthy undertones and savory spice. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, displaying a silky texture, vibrant acidity, and fine-grained tannins, culminating in a persistent, mineral-driven finish. Its purity and precision make it a superb pairing with roasted duck breast, mushroom risotto, or classic French Comté cheese, while its structure also lends itself to braised pork belly with five-spice for those seeking an Asian-inspired dish.
