Tasting notes
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru has an effervescent, energetic bouquet with wet limestone, citrus peel and light orange pith scents - all very seductive and well-defined. The palate is nicely balanced with slightly more depth and grip than Simon Colin's Morgeot. The silver thread of acidity lends this energy. It is very poised, but there is a coiled-up sense of animation and life-affirming mineralité on the finish. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The swan song for this cuvée is the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Duc de Magenta), a muscular, concentrated wine that exhibits aromas of orange oil, peach, buttery pastry and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with a fleshy core of ripe fruit and bright balancing acids, it offers a classic expression of Morgeot in all its exuberance.
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru has a taut, fresh, vibrant bouquet with yellow flowers intermixed with light citrus scents, gravel and jasmine. The palate is smooth and harmonious, tangerine and nectarine on the entry, moderate weight with a slightly pithy finish. I am intrigued to see how this will develop. Closure: Diam
