Tasting notes
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru has quite a rich, well-defined bouquet, with a touch of white peach, dried honey and peach skin. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious with good tension and judicious use of extract that lends substance on the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

2020 will be the last vintage of this cuvée under Jadot's command. Reductive and smoky on the nose. Beautifully bright acid and intense apple fruit. Plenty of stony minerality on the finish, real open-knit and tasty. Fulsome, satisfying and classic. (RH)
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Duc de Magenta) is showing nicely from bottle, unwinding in the glass with notes of pear, crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh apricot, pastry cream and toasted macadamia nut. This is medium to full-bodied, tangy and tightly wound, with racy acids and a phenolic finish. It should develop nicely in the cellar and once again represents one of the longer-haul propositions in the range.
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.
