Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru - Marquis de Laguiche 2020

He vineyard (2.26 ha - 5.65 acres) is on a gradual slope. Some old buildings, partially ruined, are found at mid-slope - the Abbey of Morgeot. It had two owners: men of prayer and men of the sword: monks from the abbey and the Laguiche family.

During the French Revolution, the abbey was ruined but the estate of the Laguiche family was spared and remains to this day.

"A superb moment of tasting! One admires the brilliance of the slightly golden colour; one appreciates for a long time the intense and elegant aromas: hawthorn, apricot, evolving towards notes of blond tobacco and then, with ageing, nuances of grilled dried fruits and rare spices. The texture is silky, a subtle hint of tannin gives presence to the whole. The aromatic persistence is remarkable. A great white Burgundy".
