justerini & brooks tasting note

Unctuous, luxurious flavours of honey, mandarin and dried violets. "Gras" and rich with a prickle of acidity cutting through. Long, dense and sumptuous. A prestigious bottling produced from start to finish by Drouhin though 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

90/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru offers orange cordial and lychee scents on the nose - a bit flat compared to its peers. The palate is well balanced with a touch of bitter lemon on the entry, orange rind mixed with mango, a bit of chewiness on the finish some waxiness on the aftertaste. A touch disjointed at the moment with a slightly honeyed finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.
