Chassagne Montrachet, Morgeot, 1er Cru, 2018
One of the cellar’s more serious wines, clearly broader-shouldered than the Clos St Jean but less forthcoming. Deep and complex this speaks of earth and minerality . It is the minerality that provides the spark here. A dense Chassagne of complexity and well-tamed power. This will need to time for its many layers to unfurl but shows great potential.
critic reviews
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru has a tight, backward, stony bouquet; Alex Moreau mentioned that he strove to pick at the right time to keep a sense of strictness. The palate is taut and fresh on the entry, with a fine bead of acidity. Elegant and refined, without the weight of the Champs Gain or La Maltroye on the midpalate, but conveying a sense of athleticism and poise on the saline finish and an exceptionally persistent aftertaste. Superb.
