justerini & brooks tasting note

A little more reserved aromatically than the Clos des Mouches and needing a little coaxing, however on the palate there’s some real depth of fruit, a saline note alongside a citrus zest and a fine classy structure. Textured, long, very assured and poised. Even a touch of peach. Such a dependable cuvée, this does not disappoint in 2021 with succulent fruit, weight and freshness in equal measure. 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. Aged in less than a quarter new oak barriques.

91-93/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru (Marquis de Laguiche) has a more complex and engaging bouquet than the preceding Meursault-Perrières with lovely dried flower and light nectarine scents, an underlying mineralité that should develop with bottle age. The palate has plenty of vigour, perfectly-judged acidity with impressive weight on the finish. This just seems to unfurl and it should provide immense pleasure.
