Caroline Morey Santenay la Comme Rouge 1er Cru 2022 (750ML)

90-92 JM / 89 BH

A pale ruby purple. The bouquet is very elegant. Caroline always liked to make a lighter style of Burgundy, yet the intensity of fruit in 2022 adds a degree of intensity without changing the basis of her style. Very persistent given the finesse of this wine. Just racked too, so chapeau. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted: October 2023.--Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Tasting note: A slightly more deeply pitched nose reflects notes of both red and dark currant along with more evident floral elements. The succulent, round and relatively generous medium weight flavors deliver better length though here too more depth would be a plus.--Allen Meadows, Burghound
