91 Pts Wine Enthusiast (2017v)
This is a terrific price for great premier cru Pinot from Burgundy. At seven years old this is just starting to come into its own.
“Subtle but juicy red-cherry notes have just a whiff of woodsmoke about them. The palate continues with this sense of smoky juiciness on a slender, sinuous body, edged with slightly crunchy tannins that accentuate the freshness. This wine is elegant, fresh-faced and bright. – Wine Enthusiast”
“Morgeot” is the largest Premier Cru of Chassagne-Montrachet. With no less than 21 different climates, it benefits from clay and limestone-rich soils and a south-easterly exposure in the Côte de Beaune, resulting in an intense and full-bodied Chardonnay with long aging potential. First planted in the 15th century, “Morgeot” shares its renowned terroir between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Fermentation and ageing in the same French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation. Ageing on fine lees. 11 months in 20% new French oak barrels. Fining and light filtration before bottling.
100% Chardonnay
