Cellar Selection
The freshness of perfectly ripe citrus in this wine allows one to appreciate concentration that remains modest in the glass. The palate is robust and exudes squeezed Meyer lemon. Salty and highly concentrated, it finishes with almond brioche. While balanced, the wine whispers with potent energy and attitude.
James Suckling: 96 Points
A super-elegant Chassagne-Montrachet that offers all you want from this appellation, the balance of ripe-lemon character and flinty minerality spot-on. Super-silky and very graceful on the medium-to full-bodied palate. Then the finish doesn't want to stop. Drink or hold.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru Marquis de Laguice has a slightly more tropical influenced bouquet compared to the Clos des Mouches Blanc, with passion fruit, nectarine, and peach skin aromas. The palate is well-balanced with hints of apricot and orange rind on the entry, a fine bead of acidity with ample depth adn vigour on the finish. Superb.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A sleek white, with lime blossom, lemon cake and peach aromas and flavors framed by baking spices. Racy, gaining even greater precision as this winds down on the persistent finish. Shows terrific balance and length.
Burghound: 93 Points
Outstanding
A deft application of wood frames the overtly floral-suffused nose of petrol, white peach, lemon zest and subtle spice wisps. The medium-bodied flavors are also rich to the point of opulence, yet the firm acid spine saves the balance on the saliva-inducing, long and powerful finish. This fine effort is very Morgeot in character and worth a look.
