Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
Morgeot is the largest Premier Cru in the village of Chassagne Montrachet with many subdivisions and a variety of expressions. Girardin’s interpretation is one of aromatic intensity and textural elegance. 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.
Region
Chassagne Montrachet
The white wines of Chassagne Montrachet can be difficult to distinguish from Puligny. At their most typical they are slightly fleshier and more hedonistic, but are often just as mineral and refined making the two almost inseparable. When distinguishable, they offer notes of honeysuckle, lime blossom and honey. Many have become quite approachable when young. It is larger than Puligny with vineyards totalling over 330 hectares. Though it shares both the grand cru vineyards of Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachet, it has sole ownership of the miniscule Criots Bâtard Montrachet. Similar to Puligny, Chassagne also grows Pinot Noir, which can be austere when young. A small amount of red Chassagne is also made.
