2022 Jean Claude BOISSET CHASSAGNE Montrachet 1er Cru MORGEOT

In the southern part of the Côte de Beaune Chassagne-Montrachet shares with Puligny the incontested title of the prince of the world’s dry white wines – the divine Montrachet. This fine, broad hillside brings out the very highest expression of the two Burgundian grapes - the Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay, which grow here side-by side - such is the complexity of the district's « terroirs »!

Extensive marble quarries, which form a kind of cliff face, were the source of the pink and beige flagstones which went into the building of the Trocadero in Paris and more recently the Louvre Pyramid.

Morgeot is a name that comes from the Gaul "Morga" meaning limit, border. The Morgeot climate is on the departmental border between the Côte d'Or and the Saône-et-Loire. Morgeot thus corresponds to the ancient Gallo-Roman boundary between the "pagus Belnensis" (the Beaunois region) and the "pagus Cabilonnensis" (the Chalonnais region).

This Chassagne reveals intense aromas of yellow and exotic fruits, as well as sweet spices and hints of citrus. The palate is silky, rich, almost buttery, with lots of exotic fruit.
