Tasting notes
Quite a rich white Burgundy, but easy to understand and enjoy now, because of its creaminess and the wide spectrum of fruit aromas â apples, pears, citrus fruit and peaches. The finish is long, supple and lively. Drink or hold.

Aromas of crisp peach, honey pears and spices introduce the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot, a medium to full-bodied, round and ample wine with succulent acids and a gourmand, expressive profile.
Aged in oak barrels (35% new) for 12 months. Tank sample. Lovely caramelised fruit on the nose and palate – rich, layered, creamy – but with great zip on the finish to keep everything fresh. Attractive stony notes on the finish – this has a lot going for it. (RH)
About the producer
Although the Bichot family settled in the region in 1350, Albert Bichot was founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot. Today the producer is one of Burgundy’s most respected, making wines from both its own vineyards and with purchased fruit.
