Tasting notes
The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru, a monopole of Louis Jadot, has a rather odd banana-skin-tinged bouquet that lacks typicité . The palate is rounded and phenolic on the entry and attractive in its own way, revealing hints of vanilla and almond, yet it lacks the precision and tension on the finish that would have warranted a higher evaluation. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (DIAM GRAND CRU closure)

The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle is already quite expressive, wafting from the glass with a lavish bouquet of poached pear, vanilla bean, yellow stone fruit and toasted nuts—very similar to its showing from barrel. On the palate, the wine is textural, full-bodied and rich, with notable chewy extract, impressive mid-palate presence, and ripe acids. While this is an undeniably rich, ripe white Burgundy, everything is in harmony and the wine's considerable reserves of concentration and structure make me wonder if it could surprise with bottle age.
Tank sample. Monopole. Neat and nicely balanced with real freshness even if not that much density. Vegetation and polish. Quite long. (JR)
About the producer
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.
