Description

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru comes from a 3.5-hectare parcel that necessitated three sorties through the vines due to variegated ripeness. It has an attractive frangipane and hazelnut-scented nose that is focused and opens with aeration. The palate is well balanced, not complex yet fresher than, say, the Puligny-Village, with a bit of bite towards the finish. Give this 12 months in bottle; it should evolve into a fine Chassagne.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
