Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot

• In the south of the Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet, the territory of the Grands Crus of which Montrachet is the most emblematic, offers vines an east-south-east facing slope between Puligny-Montrachet and Santenay. The wines produced here are ideal for laying down.

• The cuvée comes from Clos Charreau, one of the climates federated under the name of Morgeot (a climate within a climate). The soils are stony, chalky with a little clay, well-drained and gently sloping.
• A pale yellow color with lemon highlights. The nose offers notes of pear and yellow peach with hints of vanilla. The palate is balanced, full of fruit with a hint of smoke. The finish is long without being heavy.
• A perfect match as an upscale aperitif, with blanquette de veau, shrimp bisque, stuffed capon or fine charcuterie. Serve at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.
• Aged 100% in oak barrels for 12 months with regular stirring (40% new barrels).
