Technical Details
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 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.
Food pairing
Shellfish - fish - foie gras - goats cheese
Tasting notes
Our Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Morgeot" 2015 has a pretty pale gold colour. The nose reveals notes of honey, vanilla with a floral touch. The palate is very balanced with notes of yellow fruits, almonds and fresh hazelnuts. Delicious saline finish.
