2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot, Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils

2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot, Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils

Morgeot borders Santenay at the south end of the village, and is not only the largest premier cru in Chassagne, but the largest cru in the Côte d’Or. This wine is a blend of two lieux-dits within: Les Fairendes and La Cadeuse, found at either end of the large cru. It is like a citrus explosion in the glass, with a smoky lift. There is a textured intensity on the palate and a zippy freshness.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru has an attractive brioche-tinged bouquet with lime and light tangerine aromas. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite taut and saline with impressive weight and girth on the finish. Some lovely dry extract here lending umami. This is a wonderful Morgeots.
