Chassagne-Montrachet, Morgeot, 1er Cru, Marquis de Laguiche, 2023
A sleek, fresh, rather beautifully silky offering that offers up a typically broad sweep of flavours; sweet, peachy fruit with plenty of fine mineral line, gentle roasted nut notes, fresh butter and confit lemon. Another gorgeous Morgeot Laguiche, with a fine fresh persistent finish that brings it all to a neat finale. A prestigious and dependable 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.
critic reviews
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche is excellent, offering up aromas of pear, orange oil, buttered toasted, fresh mint and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's fresh and racy, with good energy for a cuvée that can sometimes be very rich, concluding with a saline finish.
