Tasting notes
Of a pale yellow colour, our Chassagne-Montrachet premier Cru "Morgeot" 2013 has a nose of mirabelle and honey. This ample wine reveals a great freshness with almonds aromas and tension through the 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 PulignyMontrachet, 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 Cote 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.
