Tasting notes
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots La Tête du Clos 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with beautifully integrated oak, wonderful mineralité and a palpable sense of tension. The aromatics here brush off the warmth of that summer. The palate is slightly viscous on the entry, concentrated with good weight in the mouth. This is not a subtle 2019, but everything here is correctly proportioned, though it seems to fade and simplify in the glass to the point that it eventually lags behind the best in the flight. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Tête du Clos Morgeot 1er Cru comes from part of the climat with more limestone. It has quite a striking, menthol- and licorice-tinged bouquet that revels in the exoticism of the 2019 but does not allow it to impede upon the terroir. The palate is well balanced with pure fruit –passion fruit, tinned pineapple chunks – and a touch of spice and crushed stone toward the finish, which has plenty of extract. There is a sense of fun about this Chassagne that will make it tempting in its youth, but I suspect that its more intellectual side will only be revealed with bottle age.
