Chassagne Montrachet, Morgeot, 1er Cru, Marquis de Laguiche, 2017
As sensual and enriching as ever. Melted butter notes, floral violet tones and lovely fresh yellow plum and mirabelle fruit with a clean, racy citrus fresh finish. A prestigious bottling produced from start to finish by Drouhin but the vines themselves have been owned by the Laguiche family since the French Revolution. The wine is aged for 12 months in 20% new oak barrels.
critic reviews
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru (Marquis de Laguiche) displays a light reduction on the nose, touches of clear honey, jasmine and lemon thyme developing with aeration. The pretty palate of white peach and passion fruit notes is a little sweeter and more candied than Olivier Leflaive's Abbaye de Morgeot tasted in the same flight, but maintains a fine bead of acidity with good salinity through to the finish. Very pretty and more-ish. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
