Tasting notes
Tasted blind, the 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche performed brilliantly, revealing a lovely bouquet of white flowers, ripe pear and hazelnut cream. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, glossy and textural, with considerable concentration and chewy extract underpinned by bright, tangy acids that lend excellent delineation to the long, pure finish. It's a terrific Morgeot that would embarrass many grands crus in this vintage.

Pale, bright yellow. Classic scents of pear, menthol, mint and dusty stone. Juicy, intense, very youthful wine with dusty, savory minerality currently dominating its soft citrus and white peach flavors. Still a bit tart and disjointed on the back end, and quite closed in the context of this collection. This wine was racked last December and bottled in late February, like Drouhin's Clos des Mouches and Montrachet.
