Tasting notes
This fine wine managed to stand up manfully to the vinegar in the ceps acidulés dish at Troisgros – indeed the food made it taste a little broader and fruitier. Lively, fresh, fine and still a little chewy. Chalky texture on the finish. A very satisfying 2013. (JR)

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot has a withdrawn, reticent bouquet at the moment. It is nicely defined with attractive flinty aromas, but it needs to show more fruit. That will come with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy, ginger-tinged entry. The acidity is well judged and there is commendable weight in the mouth, fanning out gently towards the finish that lingers thanks to its saline residue. Very fine, as one expects from Alex Moreau's wines. Tasted May 2016.
(from Fairendes and La Cardeuse, the latter a monopole of the domain): Pale yellow. Reticent, distinctly rocky aromas of lemon, honey and crushed stone. Rich and plush in the mouth, with yellow stone fruit, pear and rock flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity. In a fairly masculine style, finishing with excellent lift and an almost tannic impression.
Savoury nose and very sleek on the palate. Good balance between fruit and reductiveness. (JR)
