Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 13 Feb 20
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot hails from a parcel planted at the beginning of the last decade at a density of 20,000 vines per hectare. Revealing aromas of yellow orchard fruit, peach, beeswax and dried white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with fine concentration and length. Right now, it isn't quite as integrated as the Grands Charrons, but it will be interesting to revisit from bottle.
