Tasting notes
This Chassagne-Montrachet "Morgeot" Blanc 2011 offers a golden yellow colour with luminous hints of green. Discreet on the nose, floral aromas are revealed. Smooth notes of black-wood and elderberry appear. The mouth is ample and has an interesting length. On the palate, aromas of vanilla bring a saline finish
Description
The wines of Chassagne-Montrachet offer great value and timeless image. These wines command lower prices compared with those from the neighbouring appellations of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, and represent good value for money. The wines are bold and reminiscent of exotic fruits and Morgeot, which lies mid-slope with a south-easterly exposure, is a perfect example of this style. Morgeot lies on the border between the Côte d'Or and Saone-et-Loire regions, which was a boundary in the Gallo-Roman period. At this time this plot of land was called Morga from the Latin margo which means edge border from which today's name Morgeot is derived.
Vinification
Traditional in oak barrels with complete malolactic fermentation
