Close" The nose balances citrus notes of lemon zest and kaffir lime leaves with touches of toast and salted almonds. The palate displays more ripeness in the form of white peaches and lemon curd, yet there is mineral drive throughout, which adds structure and power to an already luxurious wine. Simply superb." Goedhuis Waddesdon
In the western part of the Chassagne-Montrachet vineyard is the climate of Morgeot. For a long time, it was assumed that there was a monastery or chapel on the plot, which turned out to be a dependency of the neighbouring Morgeot Abbey founded by the Citersians around 1150, at the same time as the vineyard. The vineyard thus created was the property of the monks of the Abbey of Maizières, who cleared the land and built the buildings necessary for the exploitation. In the 15th century, the village of Chassagne and a large part of the abbey were destroyed by King Louis XI in reprisal for the villagers' allegiance to Mary of Burgundy. The vines were preserved, as well as the chapel and the bread oven.
With a south-western exposure, a very varied clay-limestone soil with marls rich in iron oxide and a limestone subsoil similar to that of the Côte de Nuits. This exceptional terroir produces white and red wines of very high quality, combining power, length and structure.
