Tasting Notes

93-95
Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 14 Jan 21
Aromas of pear, honeyed peaches, beeswax, fresh apricot and buttery pastry introduce the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot, a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and textural wine that's built around serious reserves of dry extract and impressively lively acids. With structuring phenolics from ripe skins and prodigious concentration, this evokes Moreau's fine 2015 Morgeot.

The Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru is fragrant and generous on the nose with white peach, tangerine, white chocolate and light stem-ginger aromas. The oak is seamlessly integrated here. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and delineated, brimming with mineralité and tension toward its persistent finish. There is a sense of completeness to this Chassagne-Montrachet. _Bon vin_. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Morgeot is 60 of Chassagne’s 300 ha. Lots of lieux-dits are allowed to be called Morgeot. Just four barrels. Tank sample. Sweet, floral and pure. Super-juicy. Almost like the purest apple juice mixed with Chardonnay. Very fresh and long. (JR)
