Tasting notes
(from older vines on stony soil at lower altitude than the Abbaye de Morgeot, but this plot is steeper as the Abbaye de Morgeot is situated in a cuvette ): Lemon oil and spices on the reticent nose. Tighter and more citrussy than the Abbaye de Morgeot; more firmly structured. Finishes longer and saltier but less open to inspection today. This will need time.

The 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle from Domaine du Duc du Magenta, has a more reserved and stonier bouquet than the La Romanée. Give it a few moments and there are traces of popcorn and almond that come through. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a crisp line of acidity, a little spiciness developing on the finish that gently fans out but never quite fully let's go. Give it a couple of years in bottle.
Monopole. Cedary fresh with lovely fruit density – pear and citrus – and an almost chalky grip on the palate. A wine that really grabs your attention but without aggression. Finishes just a little dilute after all that depth in the middle. (JH)

Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
