Only six thousand bottles from a 1 ha plot! A perennial favourite of mine. Love the tightrope balance of opulence and restraint. Slightly tannic, delicious texture. Nutty, appley and immensely complex.

Lovely zest, zip and balance. Lime, slate and power with sizzling acid. Good

Lemon-green color. Rich expressive floral and mineral nose. Extensive flavors of brioche, candied citrus notes, honey, caramel. Thick creamy taste. Precise master work with oak.
Blended from 2 plots from Domain together with grapes bought from 2 neighbors. Average age of the vines - 25 years. Vinification a-la Bourgogne. Abbaye de Morgeot is a tiny 1er Cru vineyard within the larger Morgeot climat in Chassagne-Montrachet. It is located on the lower slopes of the Cote d'Or. Its soil is deeper and more clayey limestone than elsewhere, providing a well-drained terroir with plenty of mineral complexity. Its rich history and excellent terroir give it a commercial advantage over other Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru wines.
Rating 4,2/5
